You can use 3.5" UniDisks, up to two regular 3.5" drives and up to two 5.25" drives. The 3.5" unidisks go first, with the platinum 3.5" drives next and the 5.25" drives on last. You can use a DuoDisk instead of the two separate 5.25" drives but some DuoDisks need a modification to be compatible with the IIgs.
Correction: I was referring to the IIgs, the IIc can only use the 3.5" UniDisk and one external 5.25" drive. You can use a DuoDisk but only one of the drives will function. Apple says you can only use two 3.5" UniDisks but you can actually use more. I haven't tried more than 4 but I expect you could use more. More than 2 may overtax the power supply to the port and damage either the IIc or the UniDisks. Wayne
