I grabbed one of those a short time ago...had it pretty quickly, but when I
got around to testing it, the hard drive in my Color Classic had croaked. :-(
I'm considering replacing it with solid-state storage of some sort; there
are SCSI-to-IDE and SCSI-to-PC Card adapters available that can in turn take
an adapter to accept CompactFlash. With virtual memory turned off, there
will be no swapping that'd thrash the card, and a smallish card should hold
System 7.5.x, the IIe card software, and the GatorBox maintenance software
(currently on my Quadra) with room to spare.
This one's kinda spendy, given the small amount of money I have in my Color
Classic so far (cost of shipping, plus maybe another $30 for the IIe card
and Y-cable):

This one's cheaper, but I don't know if the guts could be pulled out and
repackaged for internal mounting:

ObOnTopic: if you already have a SCSI card for your Apple II, these options
ought to work for it as well.
