Description

When we plugged in the Disk ][ drive initially, it didn't seem to do anything.

However, with the earliest of early Apple ][ models, there might be some software that has to run to start accessing the disk—it might not load immediately when the system boots on Apple's Integer Basic.

More on the drive itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_II

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the Apple II Disk ][ behavior and review the linked Disk II background; completion would require documented evidence that the drive can be accessed, but the issue does not define the required software or acceptance test.
