after a month of waiting, I finally got the damn thing sometime while I was away the past 3 days. It works just fine, has a 5.25 disk controller card in slot 6, and a Super Serial II card in slot 2. The SSC needs screws for the port on the back plate, but other than that, it's perfect (except it's missing a foot :( ). Now I just need to get it running something other than a ]*

for those that do not know, to boot a IIe (and I had to remember how to do this), when you flip on the power, you get Apple //e at the top of the screen, it is scanning for a disk. Then you press control+reset, and you get to the basic prompt.

I tried my 5.25" drive with the Apple Presents disk(my only II disk), and it the drive kept spinning no matter what. Anyone want to help me out here?

I also tried the Apple II game server, with my long serial cable hooked to the SSC (DIPs set according to the link on the A2GS site), and no luck. possibly because I am using a USB-> serial adapter (one belkin makes for PDAs), with no drivers, but it shows up in ASP. That right there might be the problem.

However, it all works, and I am happy.
