Re: Wanted: Lazer Universal Disk Controller

["Robert Collet" <collet@worldnet.att.net>]

I dont know if its the same controller I have, but the laser disk controller
and disk drive I use only works with dos 3.3, and pascal, and wont boot
prodos or run GEOS for that matter. Its really weird, I tried adjusting the
speed and every diagnostic I've used turns out fine. When the IIe boots up
with the laser card installed, it says"DOS 3.3 FOUND" in the upper right
hand corner, regardless of what type of disk I put in. Anyways, I dont know
if this is the type you are looking for (mine has a 5.25 disk drive hooked
up to it), but you might want to make sure it doesnt share this flaw.
