Apple Duodisk, A9M0108. Introduced in 1984 slightly before the Unidisk, it contains two 5-1/4″ Unidisk drives mounted side by side in a beige enclosure. Designed to sit between the computer and monitor. The Duodisk drive has a unique, removable cable that runs from the drive to a drive interface card – either the I/O Controller (Duodisk) Card or the 5.25 Drive Controller Card as it was later named.
