Where the "too many drives in one slot" problem comes from is with large
hard drives. Remember that ProDOS only supports a maximum of 32MB in one
volume. If you have a 100MB drive, you must partition it into four separate
volumes. Under ProDOS 1.9, you'll only find the first two partitions in
that slot. ProDOS 2.x remaps the extra volumes to unused slot-drive
numbers.

Oh, you could also run into the same problem by having multiple drives on
the SCSI chain, of course.
