Re: Laser 3.5" Drive Work With IIgs Smartport?

   I also have an FD-356 but never had a Laser computer.  I discovered
that the FD-356 works with the original Mac128k (with the 800k upgrade)
and the Mac 512k/512ke as an external 800k drive.  It doesn't work with
a MacPLUS, however, which is unusual even though the MacPLUS also had an
800k internal disk drive nor will it work with any of the Apple II's.
