This port came about when Apple decided to make peripherals interchangable
between the Apple // and Macintosh lines.  If you have, say, an Apple //gs,
you can daisy-chain drives together.  On a Macintosh, however, the port is
not used for much (and no software exists to support daisy-chained drives.)
