The device can be chained with your existing floppy drives, until usual rules are respected (see here after). Tests were succesfully conducted with the following hardware:

Computers:

• Apple IIgs ROM01 and ROM3 (a smartboot disk is required to boot from the SmartPortVHD)
• Apple IIe with Liron card
• Apple IIc+ (a problem is encountered with more than four devices, but it's related to the IIc+)
• Apple IIe card for Macintosh, not tested

5.25 floppy drives (these floppy drives must be connected at the end of the chain):

• Disk //c A2M4050
• Apple 5.25 A9M0107

3.5 floppy drives:

• Apple 3.5 A9M0106 (these floppy drives must alway be before the SmartPortVHD in the chain)
• Unidisk 3.5 A9M2053

USB device:

• USB keys

For memory, within an Apple drives daisy chain, the following order must be respected:

• 5.25 floppy drives must be always after 3.5 floppy drives
• 5.25 floppy drives must be always after the SmartPortVHD
• Unidisk 3.5 and SmartPortVHD must be always after Apple 3.5 floppy drives
• Unidisk 3.5 could be before or after the SmartPortVHD
