Re: Disk II converter for IIc, compatable with IIgs or IIc+?

[buggie@callisto.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

I too have that Jameco adaptor and use it daily with a IIc.  There is no
reason to suspect that it will fail on the IIgs or IIc Plus.

CAUTION: The PINS on that Jameco adaptor are roughly finished --- they
merely look "snipped."  That are also FAT, so if you insert it into a
db-19 socket, it will spread the female pins wide, so you should regard it
as a permanent decision to insert bit into a socket.  The adaptor I use is
permanently in a white Unidisk 3.5" drive's rear socket.  Steve Buggie
