Noob question, but since this has already diverged a bit I might as well ask it here:
First off: Inventory- I have a 5.25 Drive Controller Card, a 107 showing a "1" on the front near the red, a 107 with no number near the red, 2x 107 w/ #2 on front near red, and the above mentioned FD-100.
I'm trying to use two drives at a time. Only the one with a "1" and the FD-100 will boot my DOS 3.3 Disk. The other just make that clackity start-up sound and then spin, ignoring the disk. No matter what combination I have tried of daisy chaining, I cannot get any of them to be able to succeed on a COPYA. My card is on Slot 6 and I'm asking it to copy from Drive 1 to 2. It reads from Drive 1 fine, but then it goes to formatting on Drive 2 and after 3-4 Seconds, it says "UNABLE TO WRITE". The disk's write-protect tab is not covered. I've tried multiple Floppies, so I don't think it is a floppy issue.
I've tried several combos for daisy-chaining it. I must boot from the #1 labeled drive, seeing as it is the only one that boots the machine and has a pass-through.(The FD-100 = No Pass Through). However, with #1 connected to the Apple IIe and the FD-100 or any of the other 3 drives connected to it's passthrough, it all results the same as above.
Now, I could understand that the 3 Apple drives won't daisy-chain to #1 seeing as they won't boot, but I don't understand why the FD-100 won't work.(Seeing as I know it reads disks just fine)
I'm stumped, am I just daisy-chaining wrong?
