(Sorry to revive an old thread.)

Hrm... So that 5.25" Apple drive I have that matches the style of the SE and Macintosh II appears to be an "Apple PC 5.25" Drive", but is 100% useless to me because I don't have the proper controller card? Shoot. I always thought I was only missing driver software.

I've been trying to find a way to get software onto my Apple IIe, apparently even if I *DID* have the right controller card, this drive would still be useless...

Oh well, I hopefully will have a IIc+ (3.5" internal drive, plus it is coming with an external 5.25" drive,) and a IIgs (which should also work with the external 5.25" drive,) soon; I can use them as intermediaries, I suppose.

And while I have a boatload (5 at last count, I believe,) of 800k drives, I would love to have an original 400k drive or an external SuperDrive...
