No but daisy chaning a SH204 to any other atari disk will give other problems
When I tried this a few years ago everything seemed fine but when I tried
to transfer megabytes from one HD to the other I started to lose files
they got corrupted and finally I lost alll data on the SH204 because of
a corupted FAT (I did use AHDI 3.01 at that time)
According to Atari there is a timing problem between the SH204 and newer
atari HD's which means the SH204 cannot be connected to any of the Atari
drives. (well that's what they say)
