First, verify that the EXTERNAL DRIVE actually works. Try it on a
different Apple II.
If the external drive is FAULTY, don't discard it! I will repair it to
work. Cost $5.00 plus $5 return UPS-ground shipping.
The repair cost of $5 is WAIVED if, for any reason, I am unable to get it
to work. I estimate that I would have an 80% chance of success if the
drive is "as-failed" with no tinkering by others.
If the drive has been tinkered by other attempted repairers, then the
estimated success rate is 50%. Steve Buggie
