Or you can get rid of all those drives and just use a CFFA card.  I
wrote a driver for Rich Drehers CFFA card to access up to 8 GB from
Prodos 8.

Check for driver here: http://dreher.net/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=7778d470e90e0df4669334af2d9311a9

And if I can get a hold of Henry's firmware for his microdrive, I
could easily write one for his too to access 8 GB.
