Folks around here seem to be FPGA-happy.  Might it not be faster (from

This is exactly what my Pseudo Disk did. With an AVR. But to interface directly to the Apple bus rather than to a disk controller which is
very much faster in ProDOS mode a few more chips were needed.
However the upcoming CB will take care of multiple thing with a single board and will be extremely flexible.
