Summary
[edit | edit source]Disk II Floppy Disk Subsystem — Installation and Operating Manual, Apple Computer, Inc., copyright 1978. Includes the Disk II Application Note, part number 030-0011-00, dated 30 July 1978.
Apple's own user and installation manual for the Disk II 5.25-inch floppy drive and its controller card.
Cited on this wiki for Apple's warning that attaching the ribbon cable to the controller card incorrectly can cause considerable physical damage to the drive and its electronics ("YOU CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE DISK DRIVE IF YOU ATTACH THE CABLE INCORRECTLY"), together with the two rules that prevent it - the cable must leave the connector on the side away from the card, and every pin must enter its matching hole - and Apple's recommendation to fit the cable to the card before installing the card. Also cited for the two drive connectors on the controller (upper pins marked DRIVE 1), the capacity of over 116,000 characters per diskette in the 13-sector format, and the note that the DOS COPY program only works when two drives' speeds are matched to about one half of one per cent.
