I live a couple hours drive northwest of Toronto and I have gone seven or eight times. Even with the exchange rate it wasn't too bad. Cost me just over one week of my take home pay to drive down and attend. The year I flew down was a different story as it cost me more than double that. I didn't think I would get the time off from work this year as I've switched to day shift with all the most senior employees but I did get the time off. Unfortunately, I've been dipping into my overdraft protection every month since Christmas and I don't see me getting ahead until the beginning of July so I may not make it down this year.

I had heard rumors of health issues, but nothing definite. As an alternative, you might want to look at: http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy-emu/ which, despite the URL, is being enhanced to emulate Apple 2 drives as well. It's a real product that's really shipping and the designer, Steve Chamberlin, is engaged and responsive.

At this time, for the //c... your best option is: Nishida Radio's UNISDISK product. There are a couple of variants, one wired, one wireless over bluetooth. http://tulip-house.ddo.jp/DIGITAL/english.html

Both. It has a measure of compatibility at the moment, though only with 3.5" drives. It is re-flashable in the field as well. Steve is working on 5.25" support. His development blog has all the details. I have one and am very happy with it.

Oh, my. Good luck with that for anything beyond simple nibble-level support. It's all fun and games until someone tries spiral tracking. Or assumes Disk II firmware. Or wants automatic DOS vs. ProDOS sector order discrimination. Or... or... or...

Last I tried it, there was only 3.5" .2mg with ProDOS sector ordering support. As far as 5.25" goes, he should stick with .NIB support as David said so eloquently, anything else will be just horrendously hard. I'd be happy if it could do DOS vs. ProDOS sector order discrimination, but that's a lot of work. It would be easier to change them with Ciderpress so you can read them with whatever he is capable of working out. I would be happy if it just worked like a hard drive, since the IIc would be the most needed place for it. A single 32MB image or even two would be all that's needed on a IIc. Of course, this is coming from a guy fortunate enough to have several 3.5" Unidisk drives. Now, if it was possible to make them Unidisk 1.44MB drives. LOL Bill Garber - I love my C1 D0 D0 CC C5 A0 C9 C9 C7 D3 http://www.sepa-electronics.com

He is very engaged with this project and would probably implement anything within reason. The device already emulates a 20SC (20Meg) hard drive for older Macs, so probably no reason it couldn't serve as a generic, large SmartPort block device.

He and I have already been in email contact, so I have his address, and I can send him my wishes for the project at any time. Since he is very into getting the floppy emulation going, I will let him be until he gets closer to that. I've had 4 failed projects in a little over a month, and I'd hate to make him work too fast and have it happen to him, too. One of mine is very involved in time and money, so, I don't like to push others, KWIM??? Bill Garber - I love my C1 D0 D0 CC C5 A0 C9 C9 C7 D3 http://www.sepa-electronics.com

I have about a dozen projects in my queue, but only one bench and limited time and funds. I'm always impressed by folks like Steve who can grab on to a thread and stay with it.

Just so everyone knows, I sent oldjohnman@gmail.com the following APDA master disks that were once available from Sydicomm at no charge, including no charge for postage last week. While I have yet to hear from oldjohnman@gmail.com I am assuming he got the disks he needed. These were sent via Canada Post Letter Mail: 1. APDA Apple II System Disk Version 4.0.2 (Version 3.2 on back) 2. APDA DOS 3.3 System Master For Apple II, II+, and IIe I also included the following additional disk which was also available at one time from Syndicomm: 3. Apple IIe Telecom Starter Kit (Sydicomm TM) (includes Modem.Mgr, Shrinkit...) 4. I also included a COPYIIPLUS disk in my "care package" to oldjohnman@gmail.com >Looking at the rest of the site it's kind of a mess. Is this store even >open? Unfortunately, after due consideration, I think it is time to look at a distributed model, let's say by year's end. Most of us have the ability to make disk copies. We don't need to depend on someone in a foreign country who takes orders but doesn't deliver. I would like to hear from others on this. I have only afew sets of APDA disks and Telecom Starter Kits left, and then I will need to start making copies to send out instead of originals that I purchased from Sheppy years ago, should the need arise again. Since I am not subject to US Fair Use guidelines and this likely falls under Fair Dealing I am not really worried about sending out copies of anything from Sydicomm, since apparently these are restricted to US domestic orders only, which contavenes NAFTA, but it saddens me to see this continue to occur. Just so everyone knows, this time around (see above) I sent original product as a "gift" hoping Tony Diaz will eventually realize this isn't working for everyone. I must also say that Tony doesn't ignore me so I am bewildered... and I am not so stupid as to think there is any money in making disk copies. Thanks. Bill Buckels

I don't think syndicomm is even active anymore. I got a copy of Opus ][ The Software thanks to this guy. (and I've been using ORCA/C out of it.) Syndicomm pretty much is dead, don't bother. -- ~uyjulian

No harm, >no foul. The OP ordered over a month ago and still didn't receive what he paid for. The freight charge was excessively expensive, so I don't see much convenient about any of this:) Except for the fact that it was incredibly convenient for me to throw some disks in the mail since I live in a small town and need to pick-up my mail at the Post Office where I mailed these, so I had to go there anyway. Apparently it isn't convenient for Tony, and that's just the way it is. We've been watching this happen for some time now. Try to buy MS-DOS sometime:) It's all just old junk except to us. The one that really got me was when I asked IBM to let me freely distribute their PC Storyboard Version 1.1 with my ClipShop utility and they refused. At least Apple lets APDA stuff continue to be distributed. It may not seem like much but it's better than some. Bill
