I'm a little confused....Did the focus successfully boot in slot 7 in the
enhanced IIe?  Was this just from flipping on the switch?  Or, did you have
to have a disk in the floppy drive of slot 6 which contained the program to
redirect the startup to slot 7?

I have a focus in my IIgs that has worked flawlessly for 1.5 years now.  I
was thinking of getting one for my IIe which is enhanced.
