Re: you gotta look around sometimes...



PC Transporter?  Why would I bother?  So I can use an old junk PC drive
instead of an old junk apple drive?  Seems the products on GSE are a
lot more valuable (and waranteed to boot) and more worth the $80 -- but
given the rarity of finding AE cards I'll agree with you on that point.
 All in all, though, I'd only call it a deal if shipping were < $30 :-)

Sorry I missed the details, I just don't figure it's worth it to have
anything other than a hard-drive or CF card (to hold all your software
of course) and a servicable floppy drive (to back up your old software
to the CF drive).  None of the old software that you'd want to play
with for nostalgic reasons would require a 6 meg expansion card to work
fine, so I guess it really depends on what you'd want to do with it.

(come to think of it, having a large ram drive is really useful for
doing lengthy animations -- i've used my 1meg ramfactor for that once
upon a time when the //e was the only computer I'd ever known)
