You don't need an FDHD... it's only needed to read the MFM formatting on
MS-DOS disks. In fact, the Apple II doesn't support the HD floppy at the
moment, that APple marketing folks say that only the FDHD reads/writes
APple II ProDOS/GSOS disks is a bunch of marketing creb because the Apple
File Exchange program then didn't come with ProDOS translator and not becoz
the hardware doesn't exist.
