    ][t should work as long as you use the correct e-mail address.  That
 is, J.LANGE7 (note the period in it).  So it'd be j.lange7@genie.geis.com
 from Internet (case is not significant).

     |here is actually one more IDE controller for the Apple II (besides
 the old Vulcan and InnerDrives).  It's the Focus Hard Card, from
 Parsons Engineering.  They were being shown off at Apple Expo West, and
 Burger Bill was showing/talking about them at KansasFest.  Apparently
 they now come in a version that has no drive on it, just the card and
 drive mounting hardware ("roll your own").  Oh yeah, since the Focus
 card is a redesigned ZipDrive, I guess you can include the old ZipDrives
 as being IDE, as well.  That's a surprising number of IDE drives and
 interfaces that exist or have existed for the Apple II....
