ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL INTRODUCTION
0.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! Now that you have bought one of
the totally new elite Series products, you have
done more for your Apple than Apple could do.
If you are an Elite Controller card user, you’ll
find it is designed specifically to solve one of
the major problems sophisticated Apple II users
have these days: too many cards, not enough
slots. The Elite Controller’s ability to
handle four drives from just one slot provides a
perfect solution. And in addition, if you have
a library of diskettes which go back to the
ancient 13—sector WS days, the Elite Controller
allows you to autoboot these diskettes without
any awkward pre-boot diskettes or controller
card jumpers.
If you are an Elite Series drive user, the high
capacity of your new drive will immediately help
you to obtain the maximum efficiency from your
existing Apple II hardware and software.
Holding more information is even more valuable
when you can get to it faster, so your new drive
has engineered into it a head positioning mech-
anism that positions up to three times faster
across the diskette with greater accuracy than
Apple’s.
We at RANA know that modern business and profes—
sional needs have outstripped many of the early
Apple designs but our cost effective improve-
ments make the sophisticated Elite Series
