[comp.sys.apple] Help w. external drive for IIc

arthurj@unrvax.UUCP (Art Johnson) (08/30/87)

I recently bought a "Maple" brand external drive for my
Apple IIc.  However, upon trying it out, the drive runs continuously
and I'm unable to boot any disk, either on the Maple or the Apple's
internal drive.  I took the Maple unit back for exchange, and the
new one works no better.  In every other respect the IIc works fine,
and has for two years.  Is my computer bad?  Is there some special
trickery to hooking up an "off-brand" drive?  The unit is sold as
being compatible with the Apple IIc.  I'd appreciate hearing from
anyone who can help with the problem.  Thanks.
