Re: Dying Apple 3.5 drive

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

SWAP THE INNARDS OF YOUR DEAD APPLE II 3.5 800K DRIVE:

$20 PLUS $4 RETURN SHIPPING.

($2.00 DISCOUNT IF i KEEP THE DEAD INNARDS)

See my magazine article in II ALIVE, WINTER 1997:  "HACKING PLATINUM: MAC 
TO APPLE II".

Just mail me your non-working Apple 3.5 drive and I will install a 
working Mac 800K drive mechanism that is fully compatible.

This offer is available also for Unidisk 3.5 drive, _if_ you are sure the 
fault is mechanical and not a	 blown Unidisk 3.5 analog board.
