Good description of Apple ][ disk controller - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
    You want the book "The Apple II Circuit
Description", or "The Apple IIe
 Circuit Description", by Winston Gayler.  While that's a good book, it has
nothing on the disk controller.  See
 my previous message for a better selection. Oh.  I suppose I must be hallucinating
when I look at this copy in
front of me.  The table of contents lists chapter 9 as being "The
Disk Controller".  And pages 9-1 through 9-45 seem to give a detailed
explanation of how it works.  But I guess this must just be a
particularly strange side effect of the drugs that I'm not taking. 
Um .. don't really want to get into a discussion on your drug habits or
what visions they may be causing you ..  but what edition of the book do
you have?  - Mine (first edition, first printing -- 1983) Has only chapters
1-8 (no 9) and makes no mention of the disk controller... [I looked when
Sellam first asked for information]

Regards,
Dave
