That's cool.  It also has me thinking of picking up a MicroDrive card
or two.  :-)

Those LS-120 drives are pretty handy things what with standard floppy
and 120 MB disk support.  As far as I know, there was never a SCSI
version of this drive made.  Using a MicroDrive card is the only way
we Apple II users can take advantage of an LS-120 right now.

It would be nice if he added ATAPI CD-ROM support too, though.  I have
several old ATAPI CD-ROM drives lying around here that I could
probably get working enough to use with my IIgs.  :-)
