If you do get a clone 3.5 drive, MAKE SURE it plugs into the IWM port, not
onto a card.  Otherwise you will lose compatiblity with a lot of things.
Take it from someone who knows...

You should also examine such things as speed (can I do a GS/OS 2:1 interleave),
etc.  Make sure it does everything it should.

Note that this is somewhat less important for a second drive, which would
likely be used for storing data.

Keith: Are these sources C, Assembler, Pascal, GS BASIC, or what?  The logical
place to put them is comp.binaries.apple2, but I'm not sure if everyone can
reach that.

And while I'm here: there is a Usenet tradition to change the "Followup-To:"
line in the message header to "alt.flame" or "poster" when posting flames.
Go back to your corners and come out E-mailing.
