I think about it, since I really want to be using it with 5.25" disks

IIc with a built-in 5.25" drive instead,
If an external IIc 5.25 drive also works with a IIc+, you could have the
best of both.
Well, what I'm looking for is the smallest possible footprint in terms
of desk space for writing 5.25" disks to fill orders.  Right now, I'm
using a IIgs with a stack of drives next to it, which takes up a lot
of desk space.  If I could switch to a IIc with internal flash storage
and built-in 5.25" drive, I wouldn't need any external devices, which
would vastly reduce my footprint, and would save room on my already
cluttered desk.

Right now, the IIgs is across the room on a separate table, which
hurts my productivity when writing disks to fill orders.

or you can get rid of all those drives and just use a CFFA card.  I
wrote a driver to access up to 8 GB under Prodos 8 and am still
working on a GSOS driver.  This works on Rich Drehers CFFA card and if
I can get a hold of Henrys source code for his microdrive, I could
quite easily write one for his as well.

Hi Rob, thats cool news ... is this code a extension to the driver or a prodos patch?

Any possibility of adding that to the eeprom image so a loadable driver is not required?
