I have an old half-height Disk II type drive. Currently, it's hooked up to
a Disk II controller card. If I get an adapter cable and hook it up to my
Apple 3.5, can I set my GS to scan the slots (will the computer be able to
tell if I have a disk in there or not)? Also, will it get rid of that
annoying "Slot 6, Drive 2" that shows up in most device selection boxes 
such as the ones in ShrinkIt and Copy II+?
