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.
