The CC II is a different beast from the CC IV and the generic PC-AT 
style controller, using a plain-Jane uPD 765A with a different 
convention for switching densities.  It's basically the CCI without 
the external drive connector (same PCB, just no connector).  22DISK, 
Anadisk etc. support this controller during configuration.

If the OP wants to contact me off-list, I think I may have a CCII 
that I'm willing to part with.

Cheers,
Chuck
