This is following up on my previous post where I finally found out what was going wrong with my drives. I'm so new to this but I have no one to ask so I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have a new GS, both size floppy drives, and everything is functioning. I have GS/OS floppy and a mass storage device. I have figured out how to make 3.5 floppies this way from a .PO image. My question is--can you do that as well with 5.25 floppies? No disk shows up on GS/OS when I put a disk in--there doesn't seem to be a way to view, read, or write from it. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong? I realize the computer kind of functions as two separate machines, and I'm wondering if you can only access the apple II floppies from DOS. I'm just trying to get my bearings and not waste a ton of time if it's not something possible/easily acheivable.

Making 5.25" disks from .po or .dsk images is identical in process to the 3.5". I presume you are using ADTPro.
Have you daisy-chained the drives correctly?
The drive nearest the computer has to be the 3.5" drive.
The last drive in the daisy chain is the 5.25" drive. You can have four drives in the daisy chain. Two 3.5" drives and two 5.25" drives.
Your IIGS should detect them properly with that arrangement.
If they don’t work in GSOS or 8 bit mode check the slot settings in the control panel.
If they don’t work only in GSOS see if your AppleDisk5.25 driver is disabled
Thank you so much, it was totally the driver issue!
