This may have been discussed before, and I missed it. I have noticed that there is a floppy port on the back of the 800k drive. At least that is what I assume it is Judging by the icon on it. I have never heard of adding more then one external drive. And the Apple manuals make no mention of daisy-chaining additional drives. So before I plug anything into this port, could someone tell me if it is used for anything. Or was it for something taht was never developed. Thanks. The opinions here are true. The author, however, is the product of a demented imagination. ucbvax-\ sun-----}-!zehntel!dac varian-/

This port came about when Apple decided to make peripherals interchangable between the Apple // and Macintosh lines. If you have, say, an Apple //gs, you can daisy-chain drives together. On a Macintosh, however, the port is not used for much (and no software exists to support daisy-chained drives.) -Dan
