Apple IIs never needed a boot floppy, they just booted from the first recognizable disk controller, starting at slot 7 and working down. In the absence of a recognizable controller, they went into Basic. If you wanted to change the boot drive, you just changed the order of the cards. It was also possible to select a boot drive with a selector program, or even by issuing a command from Basic. But anything is possible, I suppose. Louis
