What compatibility is missing from the IIgs IWM controller?
Ideally upon start up the IIgs should check the 5.25" drive, then the 3.5 drive", then go to the hard drive (6>5>2). However it never seems to get down to the HD. When I tell the IIgs to boot directly from slot 2 it works, so the drive isn't bad. Since I'm still setting everything up I don't have the actual 3.5" and 5.25" drives hooked up yet (just the cards and the HD), could this be the problem? Seems like a long shot, but I've seen stranger things.
Is the IIgs smart enough to time out on the Disk ][ Controller? It certainly doesn't time out if you give it control. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's! Home page: http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/ "The wastebasket is our most important design tool--and it is seriously underused."
