Re: Copy II PC Option Board

["Bryan Parkoff" <spam>]

    If it says, "Copy II PC Option Board", it means to be 360K only.  If it
says, "Copy II PC Deluxe Option Board", it means to be 360K, 1.2M, 720K, and
1.44M.  I did check that there are two different controller cards.
    I already won at e-Bay.  I will receive it via mail as soon as possible.
When I find this out, I will post to the newsgroups.
