Media? A IIe card uses the same media as a real //e.

It is said that only the grey 5.25s work, but I can't imagine what's different
about them from the beige unidisk or even a disk II. You just plug it in and
it works. The manual also says that a unidisk 3.5 will work. No other drive
types will work.

: 3.  Where might I find a Joystick to plug into the joystick port (DB-9)?

Same place you'd get one for a real II these days, probably in the forsale
groups or a used computer store.
