- At work, we have many "leftover" apple parts.
-
- One of them is something called "Unidisk 3.5"
- Its apple's external 3.5 inch 720k drive, but im not sure if its for an
- Apple2e or early macs. (Model no. A2M2053).
-
- It has a 19 pin cable on it, and also a 19pin socket on its back, no power
- outlet, but the drive ejects electrically and has the "paperclip hole".
-
- If someone could hack these into parallel or serial drives, maybe a PC
- could be used to transfer the contents of low-density disks.
-
- All of this to read a 720k disk is hardly worth the effort, but it poses
- a great challenge.
