Re: An USB interface for Disk2?

["Steve ][" <sc-ii@hotmail.com>]

I wonder what it would take to remove existing ICs, etc from
associated Apple II hardware and "rehost" it in a PC (PCI card) to
connect a UniDisk 5.25 or 3.5 drive. 

There used to be a Mac+ portable clone called "Kangaroo". The Kangaroo
company sold you an "empty" Kangaroo computer along with a Mac+, and
you then ttransfererd ASICs from the Mac+ to the Kangaroo, and then
sold them back the Mac+. The idea kept Kangaroo out of legal trouble
and provided the portable Macintosh that some people wanted at the
time

. I was thinking the same idea of just pulling what you need from a
live ][ might do the trick faster than trying to reverse engineer
stuff. Relatively speaking, disk controller "guts" might be
plentiful...
