Well, witrhout
telling to much, there might be soon a way
read/write standard 1.44 Meg HD disks on any Apple II with
slots.
There are already two ways to do that:
* Apple SuperDrive controller w/ an Apple SuperDrive (AKA FDHD). * SHH BlueDsik Universal Floppy Disk Controller with a
normal
PC-style 3.5-inch floppy drive.
And both are quite rare to come by.
> Although it will not support MS-DOS file format
...
GS/OS includes an MS-DOS FST, but ISTR it being
read-only.
Exactly that's the point. Read Only in GS/OS, and no access
for ProDOS or DOS ... But the main topic is to support actual
drives (and Disks), and IIRC that has been the original question.
Gruss
