Please explain the daisy-chainability issue. Both drives mentioned can be daisy-chained, since they both posses DB19 ports and cables. Please note that I am NOT talking about the steel, brick-like Disk ] [ drives.
UniDisk 3.5 and UniDisk 5.25 drives could be chained in such a way that could give you as many as two of each on a single SmartPort. They would have to be attached first as the 3.5 drives, and then the 5.25 drives. ProDOS would map those to slots 5 and 6, respectively (drive 1 and drive 2 on each slot), and the firmware would figure out where to go for each drive. .
I'm less clear about the IIGS, but I believe it worked in a similar fashion there, depending on how you had your control panel set up.
