Re: Trade GS 3.5 for Unidisk 3.5

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

The white UNIDISK 3.5 drive is rarer, thus more expensive, then the 
commonly available platinum 3.5 drive.  You may have to offer more than a 
straight 1-for-1 swap to get one....


BTW, if your present Unidisk 3.5 is electrically good but the mechanism is
jammed, you CAN swap the innards successfully.   I just wrote an article 
on the details of swapping the inner mechanisms.  The article (II ALIVE) 
is called "SWAPPING THE MAC 3.5 DRIVE MECHANISM TO APPLE II."

I've swapped Mac drives into two platinum 3.5 cases, and also into a 
Unidisk 3.5 mechanism and all three work!
