A IIc with a UniDisk or a IIc+ is also nice.    An 800K floppy feels



like


a


hard disk compared with the 160K on a 5.25" disk. The compactness and
elegance of the IIc/IIc+ makes them attractive, lack of slots is a


downside.

hey Paul,

I'm sure you made a typo, but where are you getting the extra 20K on your
5.25s ?




Not a typo, a mistake!   Somehow I got it in my head that Apple II floppies
were 160K.  I checked, and you're correct, it's 140K.
I collect all types of antique computers, so I must have gotten confused
there. Thanks for pointing it out.

Just to make it interesting, the Franklin 2000 and 500 series had 160K disk drives. They could also, of course, read and write 140K disks.
