[comp.sys.apple] APPLE //c & Uni-disk 3.5 drives

forde@EGLIN-VAX.ARPA ("MAJ ERIC S. FORD") (04/12/88)

Just a couple quick questions.....
Can more than one 3.5" disk be connected (daisy-chained) on the Apple //c

external drive connection?  If so, how are they mapped?  I know if you just
connect one disk it simply becomes drive 2 and with the intern
being drive 1.  Has anyone attempted such a hookup just to see what happens?

The UniDisk 3.5's become slot 5, drive 1 and 2.  The external 5.25" drive
remains slot 6, drive 2.  Under no circumstances is a UniDisk 3.5 ever
mapped into slot 6, drive 2.
