I have a Mac IIci with an internal FDHD and an external FDHD. I also have
an 800K floppy drive that I'd like to attach. It appears that both external
drives have a port for connecting another drive, however when I connect the
800K drive to this port on the FDHD it is still not recognized. MacEnvy
reports up to three "Sony drives" which I think means floppy drives since
both 1 & 2 = FDHD but 3 = None. So I guess the question is, can floppy drives
be strung like SCSI devices? If, so, what am I doing wrong. Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
