I doubt the power supply can support that many. ;) Back in the day, 8 could be
done, but you were advised to keep a spare supply handy.
I ran a BBS on 4 drives... then later, on a //c with one external 3.5
Then hard drives got cheap(er) and except for games and backups, floppies got
kicked to the curb.
Not sure why the original poster would want to run Unidisk 3.5 and Apple 3.5
drives at the same time - redundant, and not terribly useful or cost-effective
compared to a CFFA.
