Is Sellam "The Computer History Museum"?
No. He is VCF, and has what is likely to be the largest personal
collection. When I needed to move out of my office, he took an enormous
amount of stuff to add to his collection.
If you get
desperate, I have a few cartridges kicking around.
I would like to take you up on
that if you can locate them.
address?
I also saw a
note from you referring to a frame for punching holes in 1.2M floppies to
make them fit. If you have one of those, I'd be interested.
I don't remember that.
But, 30 years ago, I did make and commercially market "The Berkeley
Microcomputer Flip-Jig" for punching regular floppies to make them
flippies. (not needed for Apple, because it didn't use the index hole)
Hmm. I wonder how they map tracks, then? The A2
Vista controller uses a
WD179x controller and I think those are limited to one-byte track values.
I don't know. The easiest way to write the software would be to have it
look like an 80 cylinder 10 head drive. But that would be horrible with
disk switching on every other side change.
