My last apple iii drive seems to have died. It might be repairable, but in the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to use an Apple II drive with an adapter. I have plenty of those.
It is really frustrating design not to be able to boot the hard disk without a floppy.
Please consider this thread.
I don't suppose you're anywhere near Vancouver BC? I'd happily donate an Apple III drive to anyone that showed up on my doorstep
