Apple II GS Vulcan IDE Drive Replacement
I have a II GS I had picked up which has a Vulcan controller and hard drive. The hard drive either needs to be reformatted or replaced. (I don't have a floppy drive for my IIGS to re-install the OS), although I just ordered a Floppy Drive Emulator from Big Mess 'O Wires, it actually looks like a very promising solution for my Mac's and Apple II's. But back to my question, Is there a modern replacement for the hard drive for the one that connects to the Vulcan card (CF->IDE or SD->IDE) that is known to work with this? Thanks, Joe -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

Id it's PATA IDE you can normally hook it to an IDE to CF or IDE to SD card adapter. CF cards are really just IDE, IDE I think is really just ISA bus extended (someone can correct this is wrong.) There is also a modern board that is Apple II to CF card or SD card but they run around $110 last time I looked. Generally if these things are $60 or so I'll buy them for my systems but when they hit $100+ then I don't unless something really needed.
