Boy I have to say that mine doesn't get much use any more. Using Appleshare
is SO much easier. Guess I'll hang on to the card tho.

I'm starting to get the idea that real live external superdrives with the
amber in use light and "FDHD" on the front are as hard to come by as the
cards. These were never big sellers when you consider how few cards were
sold for Apple IIs and how few Mac models could use the drives and how few 
Mac users could justify the price for 'em. That makes it good that it's so
easy to convert an external 800K.
