- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- This Note formerly described how ProDOS 8 searches for devices and how it
- deals with devices which are not Disk II drives; this information is now
- contained in section 6.3 of the ProDOS 8 Technical Reference Manual.
-
- Note: The information on slot mapping on page 113 of the manual
- and on page 2 of the former edition of this Technical Note is
- incorrect. ProDOS itself will mirror SmartPort devices from
- slot 5 into slot 2 under certain conditions. Devices should not
- be mirrored into slots other than slot 2. For more information,
- see ProDOS 8 Technical Note #20, Mirrored Devices and SmartPort.
