Re: IIe Card floppy drive hook-up woes

["Frank Townsend" <ftownsen@iamdigex.net>]

Ah!!

Stupid me . . .

The Y-cable, P/N 590-4539 I have has *monitor* icons on its two ends away
from the Apple logo.  Some kind of monitor splitter.

I guess the wrong cable was with my NIB IIe card.

(Does anyone need one of these ;-))

Thanks,

Frank
