[comp.sys.apple] New Apple ][gs Question

V2071A@TEMPLEVM.BITNET ("George A. Piotrowski Jr.") (08/23/89)

Another question to the expert staff at Apple (yo MattD or DaveL or etc.)

Does the new Apple ][gs have the capability to handle the Apple FDHD???

I remember reading when Apple developed the new controller chip that is
used in the Macs with the FDHD, Apple stated that all new machines would
contain the chip.  If this is true, then there is good reason to develop
an MS-DOS FST and of course an HFS FST.

Not that I'm a big fan of the pc, but I do a lot of
transfers at my job between the Apple //, the Mac, and the pc.  And it
would be nice to do all of it on the Apple ][gs.

Thanks in Advance,

Nope, not to my knowledge.
