Cirtech Plusdisk...

I have two of them... I also have the 512 piggyback, so one of
them can run at 1meg...

I programmed a ton of new software on the robot when I had
it hooked up... left the project for a few weeks, came back and
all my source code was gone...  The battery died.

You could configure it to work with Prodos or Dos3.3 as a RAM
drive, as long as the battery didn't die it kept the data.

Cirtech was also rumored to have designed a card that went in
the IIgs and emulated an early macintosh.
