Q: What is a "BlueDisk" controller card?

All,

I've just heard about something called a bluedisk controller card --
something about using PC floppy disk drives on a IIe.

Can someone explain what this is?

Virtually,
Warr

You've put it quite succinctly. It is something that will let you use
PC floppy disk drives (2 of them, 5.25" or 3.5", any currently sold
capacity (up to 2.88MB)) on a //e or IIgs.

1. Looking for "Serpentine", "Thief", "Cyborg", and "Oo-Topos"

Hi!

I am looking for .dsk or .do files with the games "Serpentine", "Thief",
"Cyborg", and "Oo-Topos". I was on the most excellent asimov site and they
seemed to be about the only games I could not find. "Serpentine" was a maze
where you chased snakes, "Thief" was a berzerk-type arcade game, and "Cyborg"
and "Oo-Topos" were text adventures by Mike Berlyn.

Thanks in advance!
