Re: Apple IIe boot question

Won't an Apple lower than a IIe enhanced boot from
anything but a 5.25 drive? I have a Liron with UniDisk
attached but I have to boot to a 5.25 and then type
"IN#5" to get it to boot it. Also won't boot a hard drive
without the 5.25 booted first, or with the 5.25 controller
removed and let it boot to the Basic Prompt. I'm not too
concerned, just need to know for a doc I'm working on.

The only thing I can recall other than the 5.25 floppy drives
is the Sider drive. If you have a TransWarp installed then it'll
autoboot off the same devices as an Enhanced IIe.

One setup I had on the II+ was a Disk II in slot 6 and a 3.5"
drive in slot 5. I left in the Disk II with a small program that
would have it boot slot 5. Could be set to boot any other slot.
