I stand corrected.  I know that version 1.1 of Pascal can only boot from
slot 6 (id doesn't recognize 3.5 drives).  I don't remember if 1.2 will
recognize 3.5 drives.  I'll have to look into it.
"I gues it is too late to send in my registration form for Pascal
1.2" :(
 
BTW, has anyone else used Apple Fortran?  This was based on the Apple
Pascal operating system.  I think that only the compiler, library and
linker files were different.

CP/M probably supports 5.25 drives in slots 4 and 5.  I suppose that I could
get that extra disk ][ controler out of storage & have my two disk ][s in
slot 6 drive 1 and slot 4 drive 1...
