Re: good hd for Apple IIE?

[Wayne Stewart <waynes@intergate.bc.ca>]

While it might be possible to find an old Sider or other HD that suports
DOS 3.3, those drives are getting a bit hard to find. There's a few good
options available though.
If you want to go with a SCSI setup, the best one is the Ramfast,
followed by the Apple Hi-Speed and the Apple Rev C. The Ramfast is
faster by a large margin, especially when it's onboard caching comes
into effect. Unfortunately all the SCSI cards are out of production and
only available used. They're also in high demand which has driven the
prices up.
The other two options are cards I've never personally used but have
heard a lot of good reports on.
SHH Systeme in Germany has the Turbo IDE controller.   It's a new
IDE controller. Unfortunately shipping is a bit pricy from Germany.

The other is from Alltech in California. It's an IDE controller that uses
an attatched 2.5" IDE drive to give you an internal HD. Unfortunately
I've heard they've had difficulty finding a good supply oy small IDE
drives. However it's possible to order the card without a HD and
attach your own.     http://www.allelec.com/harddiap.htm

None of these drives support DOS 3.3 but you can use a program called
DOS3.3 Launcher which will let you run most DOS 3.3 applications off
your HD.
