Lobo Drives made drives for, among others, the Apple
II including a neat box
with an 8" floppy drive and an 8" hard disk. They were given to me to sell on
Ebay, and then the guy passed away (same person who gave me all the Poly stuff,
and lots of other things before he died.) I have them set aside until either I
have the time to find out more about how to hook it up, or someone drops by who
knows what they are doing. My suspicion is that the hard drives probably have a
lot of interesting things from Lobo Drives, hence my caution. And I *think* I
have the controller card, but again, I need to research this stuff out.
I have a Lobo 8" drive controller and (I believe) the software also. I
think it was one of the earliest A2 peripherals to use DMA and was
developed in the days of the II+. Mine never worked properly on a 2e
(don't recall if I tried it on II or II+).
