Re: 3.5" + 5.25" drives?

<<I have a IIe with 5.25" drives. Is it possible to replace one of 
these with a 3.5" drive?  (While keeping the same controller 
card?).>>

No. You need a Universal Disk Controller (UDC) to use GS-type 3.5 
drives. The card was made by Vtech and sold by Laser, AMR, and 
others. OR, you need an Apple Unidisk and a Unidisk controller 
card. Either system works well.

<<Also, do 3.5" drives work only with ProDOS? (cf DOS 3.3). And 
where would you buy one?>>

There are patches and modified systems to make a 3.5 disk look 
like two 400K floppies in DOS 3.3.  However, I have found that 
ProDOS is pretty darned nice for 3.5's once you get used to it.

Check comp.sys.apple2.marketplace.  Or you could buy them from 
Alltech.
