Heyya Ed.
Sequential, and before that Chinook, both had Smartport interfaced hard
drives for the IIc. Applied Ingenuity actually made an internal drive
that replaced the floppy mechanism, but only a handful got out. The
Sequential and Chinook units functioned well, but were limited by the
speed of the Smartport. File transfer rates are only slightly better
than what you'd get off of a 3.5" floppy drive unfortunately. I'm not
sure if Sequential bought Chinook's intellectual property, or if they
did their stuff from scratch. I'm guessing that there was some
relation there.
What would be really bitchin' would be to hardwire a CFFA into a IIc+.
I'm not sure about the Mem Expansion slot pinouts, but this hack would
take the cake. Or one could just be lazy and use a Laser 128ex.
Better yet, a 128ex/2 if a unit can be found.
