 > Anyone have a cable for a second drive for a rainbow?

I got one from Rider Computer Services, 12989-80th Avenue, Surrey, BC,
Canada, telephone (604) 594-9989.

Eustace Enterprises Inc., 10170 Calumet Lane, Lake Worth, Florida
33463, telephone (407) 433-0846, is another source, or was when
I was looking.

I tried to install a 3.5-inch Atari single-sided drive in two Rainbows,
an A and a B, but with utter failure.  You seem to have
succeeded in a similar venture.  Can you give more details?

I used the Rainbow floppy controller cable, which fit the connector on
the Atari drive.  Is that part of the problem?

You need a m/m gender changer to interface a IIP to your Rainbow. I'm
geting a  copy of WP 5.1 today; the demo runs OK, so I assume
the program itself will as  well.
