The reason you go with CF is because there are already a lot of CF-

swap storage cards between all their machines easily.

I would seriously consider getting a //c because of this development,
but not if I had to use SD cards instead of CF.

A) why CF? its outdated and overly complex for an apple, SD in SPI

But it is trivial to use CiderPress to make a volume copy

I'm actually hoping for an SD version of CFFA--an "SDFA" card.  ;-)

CF is clearly on its way out, as prices and availability show.

And the connector itself is a nightmare of tiny pins...
