Odd... I've got a number of Disk II's here,
and every one has a stepper
motor under the chassis with a disk on the spindle of it above the
chassis. There's a spiral groove in the disk and a little lug on the head
assembly that fits into the groove. The stepper motor turns the disk and
thus moves the heads.
Maybe there are several versions of the Disk II
There is only one Disk ][. As mentioned before, the newer units were
first called the Unidisk and then later simply 'Apple 5.25" Drive'.
