Re: Apple UniDisk 3.5 vs. Apple 3.5

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

See my article, HACKING PLATINUM: MAC TO APPLE II

Its in the Winter 1997 issue of II ALIVE.   Its on transplanting Mac 800K 
drive mechanisms into EITHER the platinum Apple 3.5 drive OR the Unidisk 
3.5 drive casing.   IT WORKS, and the front panel eject button WORKS and 
the red LED WORKS.


Also, a great UDC card is the OKS MultiCache card.  Runs two 3.5 drives 
of any kind, plus two 5.25 Disk IIs, and loaded with RAM on the card for 
Look-forward disk acceleration.   I've got one and would not part with it 
for 500 bucks!   :-)    I use two platinum 3.5" drives with it pn my 
flagship IIE.   Fully compatible with ZIP-8.
