floptical questions



Before I rush out and get a floptical drive (assuming I find a rev C Ramfast
for my //e first), I'd like to know a few things:

1.  Can I boot from a floptical with the PR# command?  Can I select which
device I boot on a single SCSI chain?  (I vaguely remember being able to
boot off drive 2 after hacking ProDOS a bit.)

2.  Will ProDOS go nuts if I access a disk, pop the disk out of the floptical,
and put a new disk in?  Or will it just act like it does when I switch disks
in normal drives?

3.  Can I read/write/format IBM disks?  If so, how?

4.  Ditto for Mac disks.
