TOPIC 



I have some spare Apple III computers equipped with 5.25 disk drives. Is
it possible to use the drive mechanisms or other parts from the disk drive
in the Apple III computers and replace them with parts in the DuoDisk
drive?




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSSION 


The drive mechanism from the Apple III drive is not compatible with either
the Disk II or the DuoDisk, so you would have to purchase the mechanical
assembly for the DuoDisk. The part number for that drive's mechanical
assembly is 661-72128
