I am here, but I have not been able to keep up with the news these days, but
I had thought I had posted a short response, maybe I hit the wrong button.

Yes the FDC-10 is still avaible,  I will be posting a short product sheet
soon when I get it from the developer (Patrick McLaughlin).   Another
point about the FDC-10 I just learned, is why it is faster than a Apple DiskII
drive or a unidrive...  the FDC-10 used 250kbit/sec transfer rates which is
five times higher than the Apple DiskII drive.

I'll attempt to answer any questions that I can, or try to get the information
from the source (Patrick).
