Re: Disk copy in Apple IIGS?

Yes, I hope my incident will someone else out there to avoid the
issues I encountered.

I think if we use SuperDrive without the SuperDrive controller disk,
it is best to use DD disk or cover the hole in HD disk to fool it into
DD disk.

Right now I am back to emulation, and not sure when I will have my GS
back and running again. It is nice to actually run the real hardware
for a few days though.

PS: yes, basically nobody knows how to get and repair those drives
here in Singapore, I asked.
