Yes, sir. I had one designed, but, I'm bombarded with, "will it work
with the ram card in place", and "what about the No Slot Clock?".
So, I scrapped it in lieu of the possible creation of an external
model. I also did not get enough demand for it either. I figured,
why produce 50 units when I only received 5-6 requests for it. :o)
The other IIc drive I looked at was the Pro-App 20 which is MFM.
