my //e doesn't either.  my disk ][ is so mal-adjusted it doesn't even

I think permanently fallen off the face of the planet.)

Unless you want to work on it for fun, it's probably not worth much
time.  Disk ][ drives are usually available on eBay for under $10, or
under $20 with shipping.

But what I DO have is an apple //e, a 20mb vulcan with varius utility
programs (zlink, shrinkit and copy2+) and a working super serial card.
I don't need no steenking floppy drive. ;-)

Anyway guys, I have the following:

1 working (mostly) apple //e enhanced
1 vulcan 20mb hard drive
1 super serial card
1 mockingboard with two AY chips and the SSI speech option
1 eurorack mixing board (very low-noise)
1 high-quality analogue-to-digital 2-channel sound sampler.

So if you want to get some sample playback from a real mockingboard,
let's talk. :-D

Sounds (!) like you are ready to rumble!  ;-)
