Got the monitor working right at least.

No problem there.  My 3.5" drive is a standard GS type, not Unidisk.  
Still, I'm not certain if the drive needs to be plugged into the PCT to 
be able to run MS-DOS disks, or if it will work from the SmartPort.

Yes.  It did help some.  Getting a few steps clooser to being able to run 
her in MS-DOS.  Thanx.
