re: apple drives
any apple floppy drive can be used as drive 1 or 2; there is no difference.
undisks are daisy chainable and disk ][s plug into a controller card which has
two 20pin connections labled drive 1 and 2. the slot assignment was pretty
much understood as slot 6 for disk drives. btw. i have several SSCs...

Any extra Super Serial cards ?

Oops, my slip is showing . I have several
sets of Diskll drives and 2 of them
are labelled drive A , drive B . I guess for the original owners quick ID. I
use a Unidisk. I must have been thinking of the Atari or C64 fdds at the time.

Actually, if the labels really read "Drive A:" and "Drive B:", then
the
drives were once used in an Apple that had a Z80 SoftCard installed in
order to run CP/M.
The original Apple drive labels read "Drive 1", "Drive 2", etc...
