No the problem isn't that; I think all my disks are double sided with the notch.  But I only have 15 disks; two are Kaypro-branded CPM and Basic; I don't think either of them work properly at this point; one is that copy of AppleWorks; one is a copy I made of CP/M for Kaypro I think.  That leaves 11 disks, probably not all of which work, to distribute to one Apple II, one Kaypro 2x, two TRS-80s (III and 4).  So that leaves perhaps 4 disks (or 8 sides depending) for the Apple II, and I'll probably leave 3 for the Kaypro and 2 each for the TRS-80s.  I don't really care about DOS anymore, to be honest (I forgot I do have that Compaq*).

(*Gorgonops, I would like to a) put it back together, and b ) test it systematically.  a) Any idea where I could find really detailed plans (I'm more concerned about the way everything fits inside the case than the boards into the motherboard and other connectors - that's not too difficult)?  I've seen the manual but I don't know if that'll do it.  Just curious.  I haven't really looked yet.  b ) Can I turn the power supply on by itself?  It's really annoying and frankly eventually costly to replace the fuse every time I turn it on.  So I'd like to connect as little as possible starting with the power supply if possible.  Any thoughts?)
