I actually value the UDC above the Liron, since you don't have to find
the relatively rare UniDisk 3.5" drive (which I use for my //c)

It's also a slot-saver, since you can ditch your 5.25" card and have a
5.25" and 3.5" on the one slot.

Although these days at least on my IIe 3.5" drives have more or less
outlived there usefulness.
