Since I don't normally work with Apple II equipment, this has me stumped.
My sister and her husband - computer novices - have a new IIGS with a
5 1/4" drive and a 3 1/2" drive. The machine will boot and run from the
5 1/4", but when they try to use the 3 1/2" drive, they get a message that
says "Check Startup Device". This occurs regardless of the 3 1/2" disk,
some of which are known to be system disks.

My first response was that it sounded like something was wrong with the
drive and that they should take it to a dealer to get it checked on 
another IIGS. 

Does anyone out there who is experienced with the product have any other
hints or clues. As a Macintosh person I'm really out of my element on
this one!
