Honest foks it is on topic (kinda)



At first this may seem the wrong forum but the use I am going to put it to is 
directly (sortta kinda) related:

2 Years ago I found an old Apple Macintosh PC Drive.  This is the 360k floppy 
drive in a package similar to the 5.25 Unidisk with a whopping HUGE connector 
on it.  One of the very early cross platform dodges.  I found the drive, not 
the driver card :(

Yesterday I found a Nubus card that will work with one!  I mounted it in a 
Quadra 950 running System, 7.5.3 but do not see a way of making it "wake up"  
Now how is this related?  I also have a GS with a PC Transporter with a Dual 
5.25 Transdrive which I mainly use for transfering ProDOS disks to-from a 386 
PC running a Diamond  Trackstar.  I am interested in closing this bizzare 
cross platform loop with the one remaining missing platform:  Macintosh. 
By the way: the NuBus card identifier utility I have shows that this card has 
an internal (bestowed by Apple) name of Emerald City.

My Question is: Has anyone played with one of these?  Know of a driver?  can 
you format in ProDOS on one? Read ProDOS (preformated elsewhere)?
