Re: Selling some Apple II hardware

[Hugh Hood <hughhood@earthlink.net>]

Chris,

I agree with Jonno.

The CFFA Card and the 3.5 Controller Card (SuperDrive Card?) should be
parted out.

The 3.5 Controller, I believe, will go up even more in value as soon as the
prodosfs for FUSE is released, and we can finally mount/read/write ProDOS
volumes on OS X and (maybe) Linux. Current USB floppy drives will read the
1.44 format that the 3.5 controller and SuperDrive will deliver. Heck, it
might bring $100 or more all by itself.

I'll add also that I'd part out the Vulcan internal PS/HD. It has what is
considered the best internal PS ever built for the II, and the 'neat' factor
is pretty high as well. I don't know whether (on replacement) the current
multi-gig IDE/ATA drives will work with the Vulcan controller, though. I'll
bet someone here has tried at one time or another.

Hugh Hood...
