Re: 2nd Duodisk drive

[buggie@enzu.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

I agree, the DuoDisk, when you get one that works perfectly, is just
great!  I use a DuoDisk on my Rom 3 IIgs.  I also just today got two more
of them in a swap deal ---- this means I now have _seven_ DuooDisks!

Comments:
(a) Mitch Spector of Montreal Canada has instructions on a small analog
card fix that should be done to any DuoDisk that is "flaky."

(b) Yes, with a second interface card, you can run BOTH duodisks on your
IIe.  Possibly, power supply overload might be a problem.   SOLUTION ----
get a famous BUGG-POWER unit from me ---- it will power all the
accessories you can fit into the IIe or IIgs slots!   150 watts --- just
$27 plus shipping (Shipping is $5 within USA; $12 to Canada or Alaska or
Hawaii).    Have shipped 185 units of Bugg-Power since April 1996; will it
reach #200 in time for KansasFest '98????   !
