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. SE/30s have the
FDHD software built-in so what I really need to find
is a "Apple FDHD External (G7287)" which is similar to
one that uses the 3.5" floppy. With the SE/30's more
sophisticated operating system, the drives evidently
became "slaves" after being "intelligent" for the most
part under Apple II's. I'll probably part with the PC
drive, since I only go back to the Mac GUI era.... I
just wanted to see if I could read some of my old
5.25's from earlier...
Bob G.
