Re: Should I get two floppy drives?

Golly, does this bring back memories or what!!!

I had a apple II+ with one floppy drive for quite a awhile. As soon as I could come up with the money to purchase a 2nd drive...I did...

If you are doing any Pascal stuff, then a 2 drive system is real nice.

Also, if you need to copy disks, then again 2 drives is a real must.

For general use and enjoyment...1 floppy dive is more then enough....

I used my //c with only it's built drive for a long while. As soon as I could afford and found a cheap 5.25 we bought it. Things were great for awhile but the drive developed an error and would randomly write to non-write-protected disks. It was still useful for reading.

I concur, two floppies are great. I would also suggest the CFFA or equivalent.
