Mr. Bruder, I think Mr. Herr is referring to the old Mac 20MB that plugs into
the floppy port of Mac 512's.

Regardless, the old Mac 20MB won't work with *ANY* Apple II. This topic has
came up repeatly over the years (is the explaination as to why it won't work
in the latest FAQ?)

Please google for it, I am fairly certain it has been explained several times
before.
