80 track double density. Should be 720K, essentially

Hi Guys
Jack seems to set the record straight... although we
were having a side discussion about his DaynaFiles
that he has---similar to Alan Hunter's one. Nat Hall's
two-computers-in-one factoid got me interested ---if I
got a card to match the PDS slot AND the 37-pin cable
to the drive, maybe
I will confirm, DO NOT plug it into your SE/30. You will fry the
driver chip in the SE/30.

Hi Guys---
Thanks for the info--I stumbled on a UK site
(http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/drives.html)
that seemed to set things straight-- Turns out that I
can only use this drive (Apple PC 5.25" Drive
(A9M0110) on a SE or another later Apple II because it
needs a controller card to run it.
In any event, DO NOT use the 5.25 apple drive on a mac's built in floppy port.
Doing so can destroy the floppy controller chip on the motherboard (the pinouts
are not the same).

I have a DaynaFile, which is a SCSI device with Mac drivers and which
consists of one 5.25" drive and one 3.5" drive. The 5.25" can read
DOS 360K floppies and Apple ][ floppies. The 3.5" would read DOS 720
and Mac or DOS 1.4 MB diskettes but had pretty much stopped working
as of the last time
I sold one of these [an SE-bus PC drive card] on eBay a while back. I
don't think it would have worked in an SE/30, but there may have been
a version for that machine.
Do *not* connect the drive to the regular floppy port.

There was a PC format 5.25" drive that had a special card and a very
wide connector that came out in that wide cutout on the back of the
compacts. You could access stuff on your IBM-formatted floppies on your
Mac. Probably allowed you to use Mac86 and Mac286 with them as well. I
have one of the

The connector on the Apple IIe card is not "a dedicate
If you had a LC series with an Apple II emulation card they supported a
5.25" via a dedicated drive connector on the Apple II card. Otherwise I
think you are correct that the other Macs did not support 5.25" drives.

I seem to recall warnings that state don't use the Apple II 5.25" drive
with any Macintosh. It will fry the floppy driver chip.
Interestingly, the Mac Plus can daisy chain several external 3.5"
floppy drives, but the SE/30 can only handle one.

Hi guys...
I got a hold of an external PC 5.25 floppy drive
(A9M0110) with the intention of using it on my SE/30,
but as far as I can tell, it's not the right one that
goes with it. Or, is it possible to use it? I don't
want to plug it in and fry the little guy Anyone
