Hello everyone!
I have a Mac Portable. I also have an Apple //c.
I'm wondering if there's a version of AppleWorks, AppleSoft BASIC, and Apple
LOGO that will run on the MAC. I'm also looking for either the 3.5" floppy
for the //c, or a 5.25" floppy for the Mac (the 3.5 for the //c would be
better). The drives don't necessarily have to Apple brand, as long as
they'll work.
As always,
ThAnX in advance,
--

I'm sure you can get an Apple 2 emulator that will run AppleWorks and
Applesoft and LOGO. As far as I know, nonoe of those applications were
ever natively ported to the Mac.
I'm also looking for either the 3.5" floppy
for the //c, or a 5.25"
floppy for the Mac (the 3.5 for the //c would be better).
As far as I know there was never a 5.25" drive produced for the Mac. I
wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong, but I doubt it.

I have 2 model A9M0110 Apple PC 5.25 Drives for the Mac. What
little I know about them is they were used with a PC board for the
Mac to read/write PC disks. I have the boards but no Mac to use
them in. Though that may change real soon now.

Certainly there was. It was offered with either a NuBus card or an
SE PDS card.
Won't read Apple ][ disks though. It was only for 360K PC-format disks.
The Apple ][ card for the Macintosh LC might be able to connect to a
real Disk ][; I've never had an LC (with or without the Apple ][ card),
so I couldn't tell you.
And as non-Apple floppy drives for the Mac go, there was the DaynFile, which
was a nice two-drive box with a SCSI interface. It could be configured with
a mix of 360K, 1.2M, and 1.44M PC-format disks.
