Re: drives and interfaces (3.5"), etc.

The Liron card IS for the //e (platinum or otherwise). Its a hard card to
find these days. Worth far more than the drive.
The A9M0106 3.5" drive will work on that too. You can even daisychain a
second 3.5" drive if you want.
don't know anything about the comms card.
