after having noticed an auction for apple iii business software - I just had to somewhat wonder if the apple ii and apple iii basically shared the same floppy drive mechanisms & filesystem or did the latter have any particular differences/incompatibility?
The drive mechanism is the same. The drive electronics are similar but not quite the same.
Likewise Apple III SOS is similiar to ProDOS but not usable on the other system.
thanks, given their minimal market appearance in the first place I never ever knew much about the apple iii's themselves so at least it was nice to know about the floppies atm
