The order is always:

- Apple 3.5 Drives or SuperDrives FIRST
- UniDisk 3.5 drives in the middle
- 5.25" drives LAST


As for which drives are supported by your particular disk port:

IIgs disk port: All of the above (SuperDrive will act as an Apple 3.5
Drive).

IIc+ disk port: I'm not sure - definitely 5.25".  Can someone enlighten
me?

IIc disk port: UniDisk 3.5 (unless you have the original IIc ROM) and
5.25" drives.

Apple UniDisk 3.5 Controller Card: UniDisk 3.5 ONLY.

Apple SuperDrive Controller Card: SuperDrive, Apple 3.5 and UniDisk 3.5.

Apple 5.25" disk controller: 5.25" drives ONLY.

Universal Disk Controller: Apple 3.5 Drive and 5.25" drives.

[If there are any errors or omissions in the above, please E-mail me
and I'll post a correction.]
