A round cord? The Disk ]['s had a flat ribbon cable that connected to the
Disk ][ Controller. They got their power thru this cord. All the Disk
]['s I have on hand (about 5) have the multi-colored Apple logo. Although
the solid red Apple sounds distinctly familiar on some piece of equipment.
To be safe, I'll say as far as I know, and as far as the internals of
every Disk ][ I've seen go, they've all had the grooved disk for
positioning the head.
