Does anyone know why a disk II controller with two drives will work
perfectly in slot 6 of a GS but not in slots 1 or 2?
In slots 1 or 2, a catalog registers the disk as disk volume 001 and
gives an i/o error at track $11.  The main problem with this is that
the disks are freshly formatted prodos disks.
Is there something special about the slot 1/2 architecture, relative to
the slot 6 architecture, that would prevent the proper functioning of 
a Disk II contoller?
