or you can get rid of all those drives and just use a CFFA card.  I
wrote a driver to access up to 8 GB under Prodos 8 and am still
working on a GSOS driver.  This works on Rich Drehers CFFA card and if
I can get a hold of Henrys source code for his microdrive, I could
quite easily write one for his as well.
