It's "SuperDrive" can read and write IBM (MFM) format >1440K disks. The availablity of a superdrive is regrettably not a function of Mac II-ness or non Mac II ness. Cis, Classics, LCs, SIs and IIfxs *all* have superdrives. Some, but not all of the other macs also had superdrives. I personally think that the superdrive is the cheapest option because so many Macs have them, and *all* the macs currently sold have them. kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Research Assistant, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
