There is one possible exception: if the 800K 3.5" drive is actually a
UniDisk 3.5, not an Apple 3.5 Drive, then the drives are not connected
in the right order.

An Apple 3.5 Drive (or SuperDrive/FDHD acting as an Apple 3.5 Drive)
must be connected first.  UniDisk 3.5 and other intelligent SmartPort
devices must go next.  5.25" drives must go last.


Otherwise, I agree with the details provided by Wayne.
