The Universal Controller was essentially the IIc+ drive logic on a card. In addition to what was on the IWM Disk II controller, Apple added more firmware and some additional custom logic to implement block access to something like the 800k 3.5.
Interesting, never heard of that card before. In fact I've read in multiple places on the web that 3.5 inch (other than Unidisk) wasn't usable on a IIe before the Superdrive controller came out, so it seems that the card is not well known at all.
What are the system requirements for the Universal Controller? Any slotted Apple and an Apple 3.5 drive? Or does it require an enhanced IIe? Does it work with Superdrive mechanisms (albeit of course 800k only)?
How rare is this card by the way? Just as rare as the Superdrive card? -- Linards Ticmanis
