Disk III

Historical Context

The Apple Disk III drive was a key part of the Apple III’s attempt to move Apple further into the business market, providing a more advanced floppy-disk system for a machine that was meant to feel more capable and professional than the Apple II. Today it is interesting less as a breakthrough peripheral on its own than as a reminder of Apple’s early efforts to build a complete business-computing platform before the Macintosh reshaped the company’s identity.
