DC2000, 8" Floppy, Etc....
Apple Computer itself, manufactures a SCSI Hard Disk Backup system (Apple SCSI
Tape) that uses the DC 2000 mechanism.
Standard 3M or comparable tapes can be used with this mechanism. Any tape that
will work with the DC 2000 drive. These include formats from 40 MB to 126 MB.
However, the SCSI backup software supplied by Apple only makes use of the 40 MB
format.
Some people may call for 8" disks, there were controller cards made by several
companies, 2 of the being Lobo Drives, (LA, CA) and Sorrento Valley Associates,
(San Diego CA), both of which no longer exist. But the controllers and software are
still in use today. Storage on 8" disks in Apple format can be as much as 3 MB.
Amdek at one time, made a drive called the AmDisk drive. It used 3 (Three Inch)
format floppy disks. These disks don't seem to be available anyplace.
Rana, MicroSci and Kodak each made a type of High Density disk drive for use with
any slotted Apple II. These drives use industry standard "AT" disks, or 5.25" DSHD
disks for capacities up to 1.2 MB per disk.
The Rana drive that requires High Density disks is the Rana Elite 3 drive.
The MicroSci drive the requires High Density disks is the Apple II A70 Drive.
