Hi, I am the soon to be proud owner of a new (old) Apple //e. The machine is coming without a floppy drive, but I have a UniDisk 5.25 drive already (without the Apple 5.25 drive controller card) that I've been using on my IIe card for my Mac LC 475. From the googling I've done, it would seem that the UniDisk is electrically the same as the Disk II, but I havent come across any posts talking about anyone who's ever made a Disk II controller to UniDisk 5.25 drive adaptor - is this even possible?
Absolutely! It's just a matter of matching the two pinouts. A couple of companies made adapters in the 1980s. However, you may find it even easier to acquire a disk controller with a 19-pin connector--they tend to be plentiful and inexpensive. -michael NadaNet 3.0 for Apple II parallel computing!
