What
does this Y-cable do (not being an Apple person...)?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe_Card
"An included "Y-cable" enables the attachment of up to two external
140 KB floppy disk 5.25" Drives, an 800 KB "intelligent" 3.5" Unidisk
drive, and a joystick or paddle control for use with the hard-coded
Apple IIe emulator."
If it's just a cable (no electronics in it),
can't somebody who has one
'ohm it out' and produce a wirelist? Or are the connectors unobtainable?
It's a passive cable with a DA26HD on the card end and a DE9
(joystick) and "DB19" (Apple-style external disk) connectors on the
other end.

While not strictly unobtanium, I wouldn't be sure where to get that
DA26HD from right now.
