Apple Sider

I have two Sider drives made in 1985, so I guess they are 10MB. Also have two Apple II interface cards with a 50 pin 2 row header - one is ribbon connected to a 37D, and there is one bus terminator housed in a 37 D shell. They have been in storage and I'm not going to power up until I find the 37D daisy cables, which should be lurking in one of my junk boxes. I read somewhere they need to be parked and should not be used until the last drive in the chain is terminated, either could cause damage. I have no discs, or manuals, but there may be stuff on the drives. Are these worth persevering with? I noticed a few posts from years ago, but nothing recent. If they are rubbish, they will go to a computer museum, but I like to give old stuff a chance to live a little longer.
