UNISDISK can be used with any Apple II. With an Apple II / II Plus / IIe with a DISK II interface card, you can only use DISK II mode. With an Apple II GS, you can use both modes. With an Apple IIc, you will only be able to use a drive 2 in DISK II mode. I've not tested the SmartPort mode with a IIc / IIc plus yet.

Turn on the power of the Apple II while pushing the "down" button on the UNISDISK. This makes the mode of the UNISDISK as "DISK II mode".Select a .DSK/.DO image following the instruction below.

A .NIC file is generated, and the .DSK/.DO image is converted to the .NIC file, and escape UI mode. A NIC file is an actual file the UNISDISK accesses while DISK II operation. Once a .NIC file has been generated for a .DSK file, you don't have to generate it again.

If you use an Apple II GS (and maybe IIc / IIc plus), turn the power off, wait 10 seconds and turn the power on again.
