   That info (internal superdrive -> disk port) isn't listed anywhere
in my FAQs. However, the question "Can the Apple II connect to 3.5"
drives or flopticals for other platforms?" (currently #42, though
that's changed a little in the past week) in the comp.sys.apple2 FAQ
details that without a Superdrive controller card, superdrives will
only be able to access 800K disks.

   If and when I get pinouts for the Superdrive/etc, they'll be on my
page of Apple II pinouts.
