<DIV>You can destroy perfectly good drives and/or controller cards by
plugging the wrong type in. I forget what blows up what.</DIV>

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>As far as I know, you would have wasted a good bit
of money if you'd purchased any 3.5 drive for that configuration. The port on
the back of the drive was for another 5.25 drive. I know there was a special
card for the IIe to support 3.5 drives, but as far as I know even to this day
it's not emulated in MAME.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi listers:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I want to share my early experience and see if I would
have made a mistake if I had made a different decision.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When I bought my Apple II e, I got a disk drive with a
newer cable, not the old flat ribbon cable which I had been familiar
with. This drive had another cable connection on the back, that looked
like I could have chained another drive onto it.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I wanted to use a 3.5” disk, so I called up an Apple
dealer in Chattanooga and asked if I could order a Unidisk 3.5” drive.
The guy at the store said I could obtain one for $369, (If I remember
correctly). I figured I could unhook the 5.25 drive and plug the 3.5
unidisk in the same port.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If I had bought that drive, would it have even worked at
all, given the standard cards I had in my Apple II e? Would I have
wasted almost $400?</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks!</P></DIV><BR>
