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)?
