Hi, I believe that your problem is that Apple only made one Macintosh that can handle more than 2 total floppy drives, and that is the Mac SE w/o internal hard drive. The SE/30 was designed to only handle 1 internal and 1 external. None of the Macs seem to have daisy chain capabilities. Don't know why that is? (Seems somewhat limiting, or short-sightedness) I guess they expect most people to put out the bucks for a HD.
