Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #28

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #6

The best SSD for the SE/30 is a drive that is made in the stock form factor (3.5") and already has a 50-pin SCSI connector. Indeed, one probably couldn't do much better than this:…
