actually, other than the dual unidisk drive, there's nothing there. the

external disk 2c will work with the 2c. as well, the 2c itself is pretty
weathered and yellowed as is the dual drive.


That's right, but the dual drive, which probably would have been
marketed as the DuoDisk 3.5" was never actually released, most likely
because of the very high cost. It's still a cool thing to have - heck,
even UniDisk 3.5"s are hard enough to find these days.

The rest of it is of course pretty regulation stuff, and not
particularly good examples.

FWIW, the logic board in the UniDisk 3.5" can support two drive
mechanisms, so a sufficiently determined person can add an AppleDisk
3.5" as a second drive with a bit of shuffling about.

It certainly is capable of connecting two drives, but there seem to
be several parts left off of the single drive boards that would need
to be added for two-drive operation.

It looks like Q102, Q104, Q105, R119, R120, C115, and R122 are
missing.
