Re: 1.44 MB 3.5 inch floppy for your a2 ?

the only other solution i think i tripped over with a buddy once was 
something called the 'tullin" floptical drive and a ramfast card running 
it..i think it had utilities with it that also allowed you to use the 
floptical drive as a 3.5" drive and do HD disks...

never tried it and frankly just remebered it reading this post..but i assume 
i there are some tullin utills out there for the floptical drive and an 
apple 2 (ie setup disks) you had a ramfast (maybe other scsi ap2 cards would 
work)..and a floptical drive (*you see them on ebay)..you could get around 
the superdrive card

again i'm just remembering but i'm 90 percent sure it was do'able. but of 
course i never got around to doing it (nor my friend)...it did stop me from 
getting a superdrive card thou ($$$ saved) ...i of course assumed i'd have 
to use this method..of course really had no need for super drive card..in 
hindsight

anyway...that is what i remember ...others on here should prob know more
