: Well, if I put the SD controller in slot 5 and toggle between it and
: the SmartPort, then I can access either the dual 800K floppies or the
: 1.44MB SuperDrive, and not both simultaneously.  But if I put the SD
: controller in slot 7, then I could read and write to/from the SD and
: 800K drives at the same time.

: Seem so?

Yes, that is correct. And with a suitable amount of ram, you can have
a large enough cache area to read all of one disk, and write all to the
next. I just hate watching the LEDs flash n and off as it reads, buffers,
writes, etc........I'd rather see one light until finished, and then write
until finished. Just my preference.   :o)
