The only point to keep in mind is that a BlueDisk cannot access 400k
and 800k disks - you will still need an Apple 3.5 Drive, UniDisk 3.5
or SuperDrive (and controller in a IIe) to access standard Apple II
3.5" disks.
If you already have a 3.5" drive and want a high density one, and
don't think that a two-drive copy is a particularly necessary facility
to have, then a BlueDisk is definitely a good option if you have a
spare slot.
