I am in the market for a Apple IIe now and notice many of them have two of the Disk II drives. Should I get two drives or just one? I havne't worked with Apple computers for years. I won't do a lot of work with it but is the situation with a Apple II that you put the floppy in one drive with the OS and in the other drive put whatever program you are using? I remember doing this in the old IBM PC days.
You can get by with one drive, but it is much more convenient to have two drives. Avoiding floppy swapping is also less error-prone. -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
