Is it a Lisa or Mac XL?!

27 Nov 2001

...
  	I took my
Profile apart the other night and any hopes of
  swapping another drive in there were dashed since the ST506 has an
  Apple-specific board on it. 
isn't the apple-specific board piggy-backed onto the
board that's there in a non-apple version of the drive? 
	Just from looking at the one in the Profile, and not having 
another 506 to directly compare it to, it looks like the Apple board 
is being used in place of whatever circuit card it would normally 
have.  In fact, the interface to the drive is a single ribbon cable 
coming in from the side vice the dual data/control cables normally 
associated with the 506-type drives.
