The female port on the card has a Y-cable that plugs er, turns into a port for a 5.25 drive and a joystick (9-pin) You do need the software to use it, but I believe it's availabe thru ftp from apple...otherwise get a hold of me and I have a few of these cards,a nd some spare disks. --GSer gser@jadetech.com -- Paul Krass - (p.krass@genie.com)
