Hello,
The Apple 2 I've got recently has a AE 'platinum'-colored 3.5 drive unit
and has a case styled like the rest of the system. I know AE made a
drive which could read Apple and IBM formatted floppies. That unit
named TransDrive was designed to connect to the PC Transporter card.
With that drive, users could run PC softwares or get data from an IBM
720K floppy. The sticker underneath the unit just says "3.5 drive" so
my guess is that my 3.5 drive reads Apple format only but how can I be
sure of that?
Thanks
