Re: IIC and external floppy drive

[Nick <spam@ix.netcom.com>]

As Far as I know...  which isn't very far, Apple IIs regardless of model can only
boot from "Disk 1" of any slot.  So if you had 4 drives on your box, you would
only be able to boot from S6, D1 and S5, D1 (typically).  With the IIc, I would
presume that it would assign the S6, D2 designation to an external 5.25, but it
would probably assign S5, D1 to an external 3.5.
