Apple IIe Card: Add Hard Disks, Making Floppy Disks and Much More!

The Apple IIe card, the last great hoorah for Steve Wozniaks and Steve Jobs love child, is in my Macintosh LC475, can I add multiple large hard disks to it? Can I write out 3.5" AND more importantly 5.25" floppy disks are well? How do we easily move data onto these disks? We look at the Floppy Emu and CiderPress II. Lets dive in and make the most of this wonder card from Apple.

A few videos

Hi Chris, 

 

I did a video at KansasFest 2021 that showed how to put a ProDOS partition on the Mac hard disk to boot from that.  Also there is a video from my friend Ron from Ron's computer videos.

Back in the day....

Back in the day, this is how I got most of my Apple IIe PDS Cards and cables.  They were in low priced LCs that people did not know what they had.  Now everyone wants 100s of dollars for LCs on eBay.  I must have bought 10 or 12 of them with Apple IIe PSD cards in them.  I know I could get a pretty penny on eBay for them, but I can't part with them.
