  I don't think the parallel port model of the superdrive will work with
a IIGS/Apple][ as from memory the parallel port needs to be
bidirectional which Apple II's don't have. That and there are no drivers
for the A2's. I have one of these superdrives and they are excellent on
the WinTel boxs.

However, the IDE version of the Superdrives MIGHT work with the TurboIDE
card (I think thats what it's called) when installed in an external
case.

Anyone know any more on this?
