Re: Most overhyped Apple II product???
Hi,
I think I remember what you're talking about, but it just occured
to me, weren't the disks 3" rather than 3 1/4?? But anyway, there stored
288k, and looked somewhat like a 5 1/4 disk, except it was supposed to be
more like a 3.5 disk (more solid, sturdy, etc......)
I think it was produced by Rana, which I think also tried to push
co-processors for the Apple that would allow the use of IBM
files/programs.
