Re: Apple II 3.5 Disk Controller Card (SuperDrive) compatibility...?

["Blake Patterson" <blakespot@gmail.com>]

My old config (before getting the SuperDrive card) was;

Slot 1:  Focus HD
SmartPort:  2x 800K floppy, 5.25" floppy

Current config is:

Slot 1:  Focus HD
Slot 5:  dr 1: 800K floppy, dr 2: 1.44MB SuperDrive
SmartPort:  5.25" floppy

...I read that some games, etc. have compat issues w/ the SuperDrive
card.  To counter this, I wondered if I'd do better with this:

Slot 1:  Focus HD
SmartPort:  2x 800K floppy, 5.25" floppy
Slot 7:  1.44MB SuperDrive
( or possibly putting SD card in slot 5 and toggling between it and the
SmartPort )

Brings worries about the power supply tho.  How much can it drive?
I've got one of the shiny supplies, not the one that looks like
aluminum balsa wood.  Aside from these 4 floppy drives, I've got:

Focus HD card
ZipGS
SoundMeister card
SD controller
Sirius RAM board w/ 4MB

...can the GS' supply drive all that (if I go 3x 3.5" drive + 1x 5.25"
all at once).  Tnx.

Thoughts about my proposed configs?
