I noticed that ( I looked a 3 Disk II's that my school had, and they all
had the grooved disc). I don't have the drive anymore (never was able to
get it to work), but All I really remember is the round cable, the red
apple (it was unusual), and the Disk II-type black front. If I remember
correctly, the case was black, too. I don't remember a data cable (at
least built on to it, like the Disk II) though. I can't remember if the
round cable was for power, and there was a plug for data, or if the round
cable was for power/data. I do remember that the plug was cut off the
round cable, though. It was about as round as a AAA battery. I think it
had five conductors.
