Would a USB interfaced 5.25" drive that Ciderpress could write to be of use? I have wanted to design one of those for ages. It would only be able to write standard ProDOS/Pascal/DOS3.3 disks - nothing non-standard/protected.
David, I'd love to have such a drive--and a 3.5" 800KB version as well! This would allow my IIc++ to exchange data directly with my PC and CiderPress! I'm afraid that the issues surrounding copy-protected disks have obscured the tremendous value of being able to read and write normally formatted Apple II disks. ;-) -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
