Apple II

I just obtained a ROM3 IIgs with 2M of total RAM. Included were 2 3.5" drives and a 5.25" drive (I believe I will need a separate controller for the latter). The 3.5" drives are A9M0106s, as I believe were standard with the IIgs.

Included was a motley assortment of IIgs disks, labeled on the disk shell with Sharpie. Two system disks were included. I've been trying to duplicate them with no success.

I can see two ways to do this on the IIgs after initializing a blank diskette:

Hi All,

Besides my Apple II's I also dabble in the C64 computers.
By "Dabble" I mean that I have a couple but have yet to use them. lol

Looking at a majority of the early C64 software, it all seems to be on ROM chips placed in a cartridge.

I was thinking:

Would it be possible to place software on EPROMS and use the Integer ROM Card from an Apple II/II Plus
in Slot 7 to load programs?

Has someone else tried to do this before?

If they have, I have not heard of it.
If they have not, why not?

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the XTIDE project driven by the Vintage Computer forum community. It's basically an interface to connect modern hard disks to 8-bit ISA. They've actually managed to push the price of the card and components pretty low, taken that you assemble it by yourself.
