I've received an unidisk 3.5 and i noticed a strange behaviour.
If i use regular disks made with apple 3.5 drive with 2:1 interleave
with unidisk connected alone to smart port it doesn't boot at all;
neither with ROM 01, nor with my ROM 3 IIgs.
However If i use the unidisk together with an Apple 3.5 drive and boot
System 5.0.4 (unidisk driver on disk) with apple 3.5 the unidisk is
recognized by finder, polled intermittenly and read my disk flawlessy
but seems to give a mistake when trying to write.
Shall a fully functional unidisk allow a normal (even if slow) boot
with a IIGS when connected alone to smart port?
