#5.25 INCH FLOPPY DRIVE MAC#

Smartport and Unidisk 3.5 inch drives must go second.

any 3.5 inch drives must go first in the chain.

In order to work correctly, Apple II computers require daisy chained drives to be connected in a specific order: Three status LEDs labeled E, S, and C provide feedback on whatвЂ™s happening: E Usage is automatic, with no configuration required. The boardвЂ™s male and female DB-19 connectors plug into the upstream and downstream drives in the daisy chain, and thereвЂ™s a 10 x 2 rectangular connector for attaching the Floppy Emu cable. Both the Floppy Emu and the other drive will try to function as Drive 2, fighting with each other and possibly damaging both devices. Combining dual 5.25 mode with a Daisy Chainer and another downstream 5.25 inch drive can create a fork in the daisy chain. If using a Daisy Chainer, do not select dual 5.25 emulation mode вЂ“ use single 5.25 mode if you need to emulate a 5.25 inch drive. The Daisy Chainer makes it possible to add more disk drives вЂњdownstreamвЂќ from the Floppy Emu. It will cause disk errors and may damage the Floppy Emu or your daisy-chained 5.25 inch drive. The attachment of downstream Smartport or Unidisk 3.5 inch drives is not supported.Дo not use Floppy EmuвЂ™s Dual 5.25 mode in combination with the Daisy Chainer. The next downstream drive in the daisy chain after the Floppy Emu should be a 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch floppy drive (or a second Floppy Emu emulating one of those drive types). Due to hardware differences, the original Model A does not support this style of daisy chaining. If your Floppy Emu is configured to emulate a 5.25 inch or 3.5 inch floppy drive, you can use the normal firmware.ДЇloppy Emu Model B and C are compatible with the Daisy Chainer board. The Smartport daisy chain version of the Floppy Emu firmware is required for use with the Daisy Chainer if your Floppy Emu is configured to emulate a Smartport Hard Disk or a Unidisk 3.5.

Do not connect the Daisy Chainer board to a Mac or Lisa. Macintosh and Lisa computers do not support daisy chaining. The Daisy Chainer is for use only with Apple II family computer systems. improved compatibility and Floppy Emu drive type detection for upstream drives.

enables attachment of real or emulated downstream drives, after the Floppy Emu in the daisy chain.automatic configuration, no user setup required.

Every computer in the Apple II family supports some type of daisy chaining, and the Apple IIgs supports up to six drives in a single chain вЂ“ a great feature! With the Daisy Chainer, a mix of real and emulated disk drives can be combined into a single daisy chain for maximum flexibility. The Daisy Chainer adapter provides an easy way to combine your Floppy Emu disk emulator with other Apple II disk drives, forming a daisy chain connected to the Apple II.
