If youï¿½re talking about hooking up a 3.5ï¿½ UniDisk to a Disk II card then
it canï¿½t be done.

If youï¿½re talking about hooking a 5.25 UniDisk to a Disk II card then itï¿½s
not too hard
depending on how you want to do it. On the inside of the Disk II is a 20
pin connector
so a standard ribbon cable with two 20 pin connectors can be used to
connect up the
UniDisk in the same manner as a Disk II. Thatï¿½s the easiest way.  The
other option is
to build a 20 pin to DB19 connector which isnï¿½t too hard although most
electronics
stores donï¿½t carry DB19 connectors. If this is the drive youï¿½re wanting to
connect to
a Disk II card email me and Iï¿½ll send you either the info on making a 20
pin to DB19
connector or how a 20 pin connector hooks up to a 5.25 UniDisk drive.
