Summary: Don't run on old Apples.


     I talked to a guy named Dave in the tech-support department.
He told me my Apple was too old to accomodate a Sider drive.
Aparently, the ][ series (I own a revision zero board from 1977 with
upgraded Applesoft ROMS) generates too much RFI.  That interferes
with the drive and connecting cable...  (Probably interferes
with DMA transfers.)  Then I called the parent company Xebec
and talked to a few people there.  Still no hope.. They said
try back in January, as they were re-working the interface cards
to be less sensitive to noise. 


I'm giving up... Does anybody have a fat-Mac they want to get rid of?
