Re: Which 3.5 drive do I need for my 2E enhanced?

This is easy!

You need an Apple LIRON interface card, and the white-encased Unidisk 3.5"
800K drive.

You can use the greay Apple 3.5 drive, _if_ you have any of these extic
rare cards:

Laser UDC universal disk controller card
or
Ohio Kache Systems multikache card

I've got them all, but am selfishly hogging them and won't sell.  These
rare cards will be lining my casket when I am eventually lowered into the
grave .....
