Nothing Freudian about it--I have a IIc+ running at 8MHz, so I
dub it a IIc++.  ;-)

I think I remember several people talking about making one, but
it's been a year or so, and still no CFFA-IIc, so I thought I'd
remind them that there's at least a market of one.  ;-)

This would have been a natural addition to a Z-RAM XII...so
IIc and IIc+ (and IIc++ ;-) owners could have a meg of RAM, a
clock/calendar, a Z-80, and a CFFA, all on one card.  Probably
someone would also like an ethernet adapter, but I'd be happy
just with an easily removable CF or SD card.  ;-)
