Thanks for the hint, Sam.  I've tried the Universal Disk Controller AND
the Ohio Kache Systems MultiKache Card, and NEITHER one of them works on
my Apple II Plus with AE TransWarp and a 16 bit W65C802 processor.
Although I own an Apple 3.5 Drive, due to the controller card I am forced
to use, 'reliable' is definately not the word I would use to describe
it's operation.  Currently, until someone designs a better controller,
the 5.25 is the MOST reliable drive in my system.
