   I have a iigs with a unidisk 3.5. from what I kindof understand this   
   combination just won't work? I really don't want to try to go buy some dsdd   
   disks if there still might be a possibility that my disks I ordered will work.   
   the reason that I don't know    
   if they work yet is I'm waiting on a serial to USB cable to use with adtpro   
   and transfer some images that way. thanks.
