Now, let's talk about 2.8" and
3.25" drives; UK readers are certainly
familiar with 3.0 inch CF drives used on Amstrads.
Amdek? sold a dual 3" drive in USA, marketed as external drives.
There were ads for it in one or more of the Coco magazines.
And there were ads for it as external drives for Apple2!
Q: were those different electronics? OR did they include an FDC for
Apple2?
