I just got a hold of an Apple disk drive, model M0130, which has a Sony printed circuit board in it, labeled FC-17. Is it possible to connect this drive to an IBM controller, and use it as a PC disk drive? (I am talking about using it on a PC to read/write *PC* disks). Does anyone know what storage capacity this drive is capable of? Thanks in advance ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- /// Sam C.
