DuoDisk drive and card

[Matthew S. Carpenter <superpsycho@comcast.net>]

Hi,

I'm about to set on cleaning and setting up an Apple //e that I've been 
gathering parts for tonight. I was going to use an Apple 5.25 drive 
card and a set of apple 5.25 drives(the kind that would work on the 
IIgs smartport) but I just found a duodisk drive for $1 with cable 
today and I was wondering, do I need a special card for it or will it 
work with the same card as the single 5.25 drives?

I'm also guessing that given how dirty it is externally(or was.. I just 
cleaned it up) that I will have to clean it up.. I have a cleaning 
diskette here somewhere but I really have no idea as to where that 
somewhere is(small room but it's apsolutly as loaded as it can get) so 
I'm just wondering, if I'm very carefull would it be ok to clean with a 
q-tip and alcohol or should I apsolutely just scour this place for my 
cleaning diskette and not take a chance on this?
