I have a Franklin Ace 1000. Recently I was offered a couple of different hard disks if I could figure out how to use them. One of them is a Corvus (I believe 10 meg) and the other is a profile. I was told that the profile was built to run on an Apple III or Lisa. Other than that I know nothing about it. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me of a way to use this thing. The Corvus drive, I was told, is incredibly unreliable. It's old and has gone through quite a lot, but since it's not costing me anything I'd like to try it. I'm missing the cable that goes with it and I'm not sure what I need to hook it up. Thanks to anyone that can help. -Larry

Your Apple dealer may be able to obtain one for you (perhaps just as a "replacement part"). The ProFILE is supported by Apple II OSes. You of course need to format it before use. Unless it's been damaged you should be able to do this the same way as you format other types of disks. There were both 5Mbyte and 10Mbyte versiond of the ProFILE (mine is 5).
