Re: Apple //e will not boot--Help

["Barry Davis" <bdavis1943@hotmail.com>]

When I checked the drives on another machine.  All three were bad.  I could
not believe that none of them worked since I purchased them on eBay from two
different people and was assured that they were all working.  Thanks for
your suggestions and your kindness.  This was the first time I have tried to
use a newsgroup and I am impressed.  Barry Davis
