What Card is Needed to Drive the DuoDisk

[CompactMacLover]

I was cleaning out the closet this afternoon and found a DuoDisk Drive.

What controller card is needed to drive this??

I got a rough Apple IIe, missing keys and such, and Apple III Monitor and now the duo disk to go along with it

You need a new-style Disk II controller card with the 19-pin D-shell cable. The ones I have are labeled "Apple 5.25 Drive Controller 655-0101." See:

For anyone coming across this thread years later, there is a new option: the Big Mess O' Wires Yellowstone card. To drive a DuoDisk, you will also need the optional DB-19F adapter.

I purchased the Yellowstone Everything Bundle and I was able to drive my DuoDisk off of it. I was also able to drive an Apple 5.25" Drive off of it, just not at the same time as the DuoDisk.
