Since I mentioned this in a previous post, it's eating at me and I have
to know.  I have a FocusDrive mounted in my IIgs in Slot 6 (set to "Your
Card") and start up is set to that slot as well. I also have 2 3.5" drives daisy chained into the Smart Port - if I want to add a 5.25" drive to the end of chain, do I have to make any changes to the current
setup (other than plugging the drive in, obviously)?  I seem to recall
reading somewhere that a IIgs will automatically try to boot from a 5.25" drive if it finds one attached.


I just rearranged my IIgs with the HD in slot 2 (set to your card), I
also have 2x3.5" ans 2x5.25" chained on the smartport. A lot of people
suggested different setups, but this one allows access to all disks plus
AppleTalk/printer and modem. The HD doesn't interfere with the modem at
all (at least with proterm)
-s


Sounds like the quickest setup, and what I'm looking for. I'll try that one; that way I don't have to move the SCSI card from Slot 7 (it didn't like Slots 1 or 2).
