Re: Apple IIe help...

[8bitz@my-deja.com]

I have a related and possibly dumb question.
I have a IIe and an external drive with the 15pin connector. Works
fine. I have a zork disk I tested.
Is this just a connector to the internal interface card?

I also have this disk ][ card and two disk ][ drives. Are these for an
older apple II ?

Also with this box I got 6 koala pads and 10 pairs of paddle
controllers.  Anybody want to trade something?  :)

Thanks
Mark
