These Amdek drives use the hard case 3" CF2 diskette.  These connect
to an Apple old style 5.25" controller card and the operating system
sees them as a regular 5.25" disk, even though they are on a 3" disk.
They are running me about 70.00 per ten pack plus shipping, from the
Netherlands.  Maybe you know where I can find them for cheaper than
that.
