One of my Disk ][s has a cable on it (I got it from Creative
Solutions) that allows it to plug into all those disk ports (DB-19?)
on various Apple //s WITHOUT a Disk ][ card. It's currentlyy
connected to my //c via its UniDisk 3.5's daisy-chaining port. Cables
like this have been available for a long time.
