The apparently intended article says:

===

Jeri Ellsworth's new AnyCard (as her USB card is now known) made great strides
at KFest this year, but is still not available for purchase.

A small team of programmers has assembled to help write firmware and GS/OS
drivers for the card. The AnyCard, when completed, will provide a USB port,
VGA graphics support, an IDE bus, and a CompactFlash slot, and will work
in any slotted Apple II. There is no release date announced at this time.

===

This description certainly leaves a lot to the imagination.  ;-)

Does anyone have a list of drivers being written or considered?

Any info on _how_ VGA will be supported for Apple II graphics?

And the fact that "There is no release date announced at this time."
does not provide much refutation to Willi's original post...
