Hmm, hardrive for the ][+ and unenhanced file://e. I believe the only thing
preventing the CFFA card from working on those machines is the lack of a
65c02. Perhaps you could work with Richard Dreher and design a special 6502
version of the firmware. The CFFA design is open so in additon to helping
out 6502 Apple II users you'd become intimately familiar with the strengths
and weaknesses of a working Apple II mass storage controller.

Just an idea.
