It's not just the Apple II...
I have a compact flash for my TI-99 as well.
Seems we have a lot of "experimenters" bringing new technology to old
machines.
Besides, a compact flash on a TI is _much_ faster than a floppy, and more
compatible than a SCSI drive with existing software, albeit not hardware.
How does that work on the Apple II?
