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.

Paul:I was a ware of only the Chinook drive, and I've certainly never seen one except in old pictures. I did not know there were three available at one time or another.
Maybe we can do that at kfest, if you have a spare CFFA and an eprom in your IIc+ along with access to a burner.
Hmmm... Wasn't someone working on such a hack already? Thinking aloud: - What are in the slots of a IIc+?- Anyone got a schematic or block diagram of the slotmaker chip. (I am assuming it has a slot maker chip.) - I'd want to place the CFFA rom in the c600 region so the IIc+ would automatically downshift... - I'd want a switch to allow use of the smartport 5.25 but I could live without it. - Anyone got a disassembly of the smartport routines in ROM? What chip is the Cx00 region in?
Thankx, Ed
