Dennis,

The Liron card can only be used with the white Unidisk 3.5 drive.  The
card can go in any slot (except 3 on a IIe) but usually it is used in
slot 5.  Boot up a ProDOS disk from slot 6 and use SYSUTIL.SYSTEM (On
ProDOS Master) and format a double density (one hole) 3.5 diskette in
slot 5, drive 1.  Then copy the files PRODOS and BASIC.SYSTEM from
your ProDOS Master and you are ready.  Remember that unless you remove
your 5.25 controller from slot 6 (or put your Liron card in slot 7)
you will boot slot 6.  Press ctrl-reset to go to the basic prompt and
enter PR#5 to boot from the Unitidk 3.5
