The system did not support RAID-5 on the MFIOP until Models 6xx. The get 100% PROTECTION, The MFIOP has to be mirrored.

According to what I'm reading, the 6502/6522 Disk controllers are only allowed in the Expansion Unit. My recollection, fuzzy at this time, is that a 'protected' 400 model will have a mirrored load source and RAID in the expansion unit. Based on what I'm reading, you cannot accomplish your immediate goal of implementing RAID in the system unit of a model 400. The 6502 has a designated slot (slot #1) in the expansion unit, and will not fit in just any slot.
