I have been under the impression that the floppy controller for the Color
Computer (the one sold with the slim-line drives if it makes a difference)
supported 4 single-sided drives.  After adding my fourth drive I found that
it wouldn't select the 4th drive but it would select the second side of my
double-sided drives.

Have my impressions been mistaken?  Do I max at three drives and get
double-sided support or am I supposed to get four drives and something isn't
working?
