   I was an Apple tech starting 18 years ago, and the Apple /// external drive
had a unique L-shaped analog board.  How do you think they got them to
daisy-chain?  The internal drive on the Apple /// was the same as a Disk ][,
except for the faceplate / latch part.  And the external floppy connector on an
Apple /// motherboard was a IDS26 connector, the Apple /// plus had the DB19
connector.
