TOPIC 



1) What disk drives does the Apple IIe Card support?

2) Why hook up a UniDisk 3.5-inch to the Apple IIe Card?

3) How do I eject the internal 3.5-inch disk?

4) If I connect a compatible Apple 5.25 Drive to this Macintosh LC, can I
run regular Apple IIe software?




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSSION 


1) The Apple IIe Card supports the following drives:

* The two Internal Macintosh LC SuperDrive disk drives

* One UniDisk 3.5-inch (part number A2M2053, white).

* Two Apple 5.25-inch Disk Drive (part number A9M0107, platinum) connected
to the drive cable or UniDisk 3.5. Note: If you hook up a UniDisk 3.5-inch
and Apple 5.25-inch, the UniDisk 3.5-inch goes first.

The Apple IIe Card does NOT support:
* The Apple 3.5-inch
* UniDisk (beige 5.25-inch)
* DuoDisk
* Disk II

The older 5.25-inch drives use -12 volts, which the Macintosh LC does
not support.

2) Some copy-protected applications require a UniDisk 3.5-inch as part
of the configuration, or they won't work correctly. Nor do they work
on the SuperDrive inside the Macintosh LC.

3) To eject a disk from an internal 3.5-inch disk:

* Press Command-Shift-1

* Enter the Option Panel (Command-Control-Esc) and press the Disk
Eject button.

4) Yes. In Apple IIe mode, the Macintosh LC will function exactly as an
Apple IIe.
