Re: Duo UniDisk

[noone@nowhere.net]

Tony Diaz showed us a duo 3.5" drive at Kfest this year.  The board was
in fact designed with a dual disk in mind, but the cost was
prohibitive.  Tony stated that he once put the missing parts on the
board and it did work.  I believe he said he got the parts from another
3.5" board.

Tony's web site is www.apple2.org, I have not been there in a while.  I
do not know if he has this information online.  However, a CD set from
Sheppy at a2central.com does have the presentation in Quicktime format.

Holy cow! A2 Central has the whole prototype presentation online.  At
78megs you better have a fast connection.
