Daisy-chaining 3.5 drives.

The Apple Unidisk 3.5 (for //c, //c+, and //e) and the Apple 3.5 
Drive (for //gs and PC Transporter)  ****DO***** have a daisy-chain port in
the back. On a //gs, the daisy-chained drive can be another 3.5 drive, a
Unidisk 3.5, an Apple 5.25 drive, or a Unidisk or DuoDisk (5.25). A total
of 4 drives can be daisy-chained on a //gs [3.5 drives are not daisy-chained
on a Macintosh]. Thus, while the Cutting Edge 3.5 drive at $175 will save
about $150 off Apple list, it greatly limits drive flexibility for the 
//gs owner [no problem for the Mac owner].
