Questions about disk drives — #4

ah yes, for some reason, I had a hunch it was 4. So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Not a big deal, as I have the right cards. I just need to pull it out of my IIe. I Could try …

Questions about disk drives — #3

You are allowed 4 drives on a IIgs. 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 5.25". The 3.5" have to be connected to the IIgs 1st in the chain (I have the drive manuals from Apple).

The IIgs' smartport allows you to have 2 800K drives (mapped to slot 5) and 2 140K (slot 6)... if you really want another 5.25" drive, you'll need to install a controller card and …

Newbie lost in front of a IIgs — #23

The software for your card is here. You can format the "rest" of the disk with HFS once you've got GS/OS up and running (and updated to a non-buggy HFS driver) to recover the othe…

I do have only a 2 Mb Ram card. I also have what I think is a SCSI card, not installed as of yet. So it should be ok, I hope. Thanks!

Lombard/Pismo VST Exp. Bay Floppy — #3

Not sure you got an answer to your question, so here's my shot at it: In addition to 120MB superfloppies, those drives will also read 1.44MB disks. Sadly, 800K (or 720K) disks are …

Lombard/Pismo VST Exp. Bay Floppy — #2

AFAIK, they were SuperDisk drives - the 120MB floptical things - and wouldn't read the 800/720k disks.

Anybody got a VST expansion bay floppy drive used in their Lombard or Pismo? If so, will it handle 800K disks, or just 1.44MB?
