Apple Floppy Drives (was: More Apple Pimpers)

I didn't use an Apple with or without an 8" disk subsystem, but no one I know who did useful work on an Apple][ back in '79-'85, after which the Apple][ was pretty irrelevant, relied on the 5-1.4"diskettes. I did use a 6502-based system with 8" drives that ran an OS that also was used on the Apple. I owned a number of Apple][ boxes for the simple reason that I could get the job (programming EPROMs) done more cheaply with several Apple]['s that I could sell off later after the 1600 EPROMs were done. In the interim, I got significant discount on CP/M software from the dealer where some of the Apple hardware (much of it was used stuff) had been acquired. The software, for the most part, didn't care which system was the platform. I personally have no interest in a Lobo controller for the simple reason that I don't have APEX drivers for the Lobo card, while I do have support for the SVA controller. I'm told the Lobo was a useable controller like the SVA and others. My guess would be that this setup would probably be as reliable as an Apple system of any sort could be.
