Hi,

I've got a quick question on a dual combo 5.25 disk drives that are apple
brand.  This dual drive came with the apple //e I just inherited.  It uses
an apple I/O card on the apple IIe (not a disk II card).  Now my question is
can I use this dual 5.25 drive on the IIgs by just plugging into a 3.5 drive
or directly into the smartport on the IIgs?  It would make life easier in
creating 5.25 disks for the IIe.

I believe there's a resistor that needs to be cut off the circuit board tomake it cooperate with 3.5" drives on the SmartPort. Unfortunately thedetails are lost in the mists of time...


Anyone remember?
