FYI I noticed this bug-a-boo using the PCPI Applicard (6 MHz CP/M-80 card).
I have a Rana Elite I drive, which sports w write-protect light; the drive
is plugged into an Apple Disk ][ controller.  If I plug the controller with
the Rana drive in on a slot higher than the Applicard (e.g. disk in 6,
PCPI in 3) the write-protect on the Rana goes on.  Right !

BTW, PCPIers, you can plop your PCPI in slot #3, even in a //e - the ROM on
the card is only there for the bootstrap and isn't in a typical place.
