[comp.sys.apple] //e -> //GS What periphs can I keep?

god3@sphinx.UUCP (12/10/86)

I would like to know what peripherals for my //e I can keep and use
on a //GS (I am upgrading from //e to //GS).
I have the following:  Hayes Micromodem II, Applied Eng. (AE) Z-80 Card,
AE Timemaster H.O. (I know, the //GS already has a clock, but I'd still
like to know if I could use it for software development purposes), Duo-disk
controller with Duo-disk drive, Buffered Grappler Printer Interface card.

Thanx in advance

You can use it all but you may have to use a version of Prodos less than
1.2 (Prodos 8) to keep the two clocks from confusing Prodos (Older versions
of Prodos ignore the new clock).  The duo disk can be run either directly
out of the smart port (it can be the only device on the smartport tyhough)
or you can run it with a controller card, but you have to have a resistor
cut out of the drive by your Apple dealer to make it work that way.
