iDisk for Apple 2 update



Dear all, the following is an update for iDisk for Apple 2

1. New mod is done, no chassis cutting required (but one or two USB
extension cable(s) is required to get USB port out)

2. Price reduction. With great amount of hard work during the past
weeks, the price is redcued A LOT. However, the penalty is that it
will take much longer for us to make one card and it will take few
weeks longer for customers to receive it.

3. One more model is provided, without Bluetooth function so the cost
can be reduced further for some one who does not want to use Bluetooth
or may not be able to use Bluetooth (Mac/Linux users).

4. Paypal payment method is added in addition to credit card.

5. Several people emailed us asking what else iDisk can do? First, we
have been working on USB keyboard and USB paddle. Second, we have also
ported an Embedded Linux (Applinux) to iDisk (iDisk is ARM7 based ),
so that you can have dual boot system (Apple ][/Linux), turn your
Apple][ to Linux machine and that will open up oppertunities for many
applications with only software effort. So far, we were able to run
few apps (mp3/jpeg/web browsing...), it is still very very primitive
though. However, the above developments will not be continued.


Cheers
