I don't know about this.

We used one on our Apple ][+. One of the machines at the VCF was set up the
same way, I think.

Make sure the cables are aligned, otherwise you will fry a diode (it could be
another component -- I think it's a rectifier). This applies to the Disk ][ --
I don't know about other drives.
