[comp.sys.apple] Help with cider hard disk and franklin's

sipples%husc4@HARVARD.HARVARD.EDU.UUCP (11/23/86)

Ted,

I heard from one of the Franklin ACE users' groups that the Sider works with
roughly 30% of 1000s and 1200s.  It doesn't work on most older Franklins be-
cause of a difference in timings between Apple ][s (Revision 7 onward) and
1000s/1200s.

Note that I said "Revision 7 onward" of Apple ][+.  Apparently even older
Apple ][s won't work with the Sider.

Possible solution: try installing a coprocessor card, serial card, modem card,
or some other such device along with the Sider host adapter.  Sometimes cer-
tain card combinations will suddenly correct the problem.  Also, try moving
the Sider host adapter from slot to slot until (if) it works.

Perhaps First Class Peripherals may have some better ideas.  In any event, they
have a generous refund/return policy.
