Greg,

I have been using ADT122 instead of ADTgs.  I have been using it for
almost 2 years now and nary a glitch.  I have my SSC in slot one and
my GS Com port turned off.

Boot your ADT floppy in slot 6 and you shouldnt have any trouble.  I
am sure you have the cable specs (in the May issue of Call-A.P.P.L.E.
Magazine [www.callapple.org/magazine].  If your cable is right, make
sure the SSC speed is set right, all jumpers and dip switches.  (The
jumper block is a big item to make sure of on the card).  Use the SSC
manual to get the information to set the card speed from the command
prompt.

Other than that, cant think of anything else that needs to be done. 
Should work. (ADT on the pc needs to be in the same directory as the
disk images you are transfering to the Apple.  Apple floppies must be
formatted prior to be used.)
