hello, all...
Today i noticed an ad for a fairly inexpensive 3.5 inch floppy
drive for the //e ][+ and //c. It struck me as being kind of
odd, because i was under the impression that all //c's required
unidisk 3.5 f loppy drives. When i called tech support for the
mail order firm, I was told that some //c's have a Universal
Disk Controller. Is this true? She seemed to imply that this
controller was present in //c's prior to the //c+.
Can anyone confirm this? If so, is there any kind of upgrade
policy related to it?
thanks

The //c that preceded the //c+ (the up-to-date one with current ROMS) could run both 3.5 (Apple Unidisk 3.5) and 5.25 drives. They piggy-back if you want both. This doesn't mean a universal disk controler, in the Laser EX sense, since a //gs or Mac 3.5 drive could not be used. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
