Re: Using an Apple HD 20 on a IIGS

Thanks David, I thought that might be the case, bummer.

Try contacting a company called VTECH. It should be out of Vancouver BC
in Canada. They produced a universal disk controller. I had one. It
worked really well. They *may* still have some in stock. If not maybe
you can convince them to release the schematics/plans into the public
domain so a third party can continue development. If it can be adapted
to the 1.4/1.6 Mb floppies as well then we may have another Superdrive
controller.

You actually used such a device to control an HD20?

Thanks
Tim

No. But the suggestion was made earlier in the thread a UDC *might* do the job if any were around. I used it to control a Unidisk on a my //e at the time. I merely mentioned a potential source.

If someone could get the schematics and update it we could be looking at something useful for both the GS and earlier slotted Apples.
