I did try both Smartport and Smartport Unit 2, with two different copies of Total Replay, renamed smart0.po and smart1.hdv. I know on a regular IIc the Unit 2 mode is not needed, but then again it doesn't have a built in slot 5 drive 1 interfering. I would suggest trying that mode to see if it boots the smartdrive on the IIc+. This causes the FE to actually briefly appear as a slot 6 5.25 drive so it can intercept the boot process, and then switches over to smartport mode. If you have a 3.5 hooked up to a IIgs and you want to boot off the FE smartport, you have to use the option on the FE called something like Smartport Unit 2.

But I wonder if it acts the same way as the IIgs, where it sees the 3.5 drive and won't boot smartport without some trickery. If the built in slot 5 drive 1 doesn't have a disk, it should start checking the externals. Any ideas?ĪFAIK, the IIc+ does a slot scan similar to the way the IIgs does, except I think it looks at slot 5 first, as where the IIgs looks at 6 first. But I do, I boot gthe IIc+ and it tells me it can't find a disk to boot, even though I have the FloppyEMU set to Smartport Mode. So theoretically I shouldn't have any trouble.

When using Floppy Emu in Smartport or Unidisk mode with the Apple IIc, use the external 19-pin disk port. This quirk of the Apple IIc only applies to 5.25 inch floppy emulation mode. I have an Apple IIc+ and according to the FloppyEMU documenatatio here:
