Integer Basic support is important, I need to be able to
copy my DOS 3.3 System Master disk over to 3.5" format, including
the INTBASIC files, and such.

I would prefer one capable of using GS Smartport interface, as well
as Apple //e and //c (Laser 128?) interfaces.  [BTW, Can anyone explain to
me why the Apple //e doesn't support daisy chaining 5.25 inch disks to the
UniDisk 3.5, but the Apple //c can?  Is the hardware really different?]

I can program around the (soldered-in Yuch!) EPROM onboard the controller, 
if that's all that's preventing me from doing it.  I can sort of understand
why Apple may not want to support it on a //e because of the potential for
collitions in the disk name space (ie two slot 6, drive 2's).

Thanks for your help.
