IFF you find a working one (high failure rate), and IF
you find
a drive that it works OK with (I used TM100-2), then the Turnover
is OK. File system support is Apple-DOS, Apple CP/M, Apple Pascal,
Pro-DOs.
(BTW, it was "Apple Turnover" until Apple's lawyers visited Vertex.)
Jup, we had this discusion at one time. I's just that I
got that board as part of a test for a computer magazin
back tehn, plugged in my PC compatible taiwan box (well,
one of the very first 1000% rip off, and even not much
cheaper than the IBM), and it worked right away. I wrote
a quite enthusiastic review ... so maybe blame me for some
sales over here in Germany/Austria :))
Just, the
Turnover is a strict PX or PC/XT board. I never
got it working in an AT (or above) machine.
I did, but not reliably. Oh, and
don't forget the Trackstar Board(s), basicly an
Apple II or IIe on a PC-Card, a huge IC-Graveyard. It can
and the QuadLink from
Quadram (> 70% DOA)
