Yeah, what he said.  :o)

I do have someone helping me engineer something.
It takes a lot of research and development work
to get to the building stage. There is something
being worked up as I type. Remember that one of
us is working part time and the other is only
cognescent part of the time, guess which one I am.
Anyway, if you guessed I'm the part mind, you're
correct.

I believe it may be possible to adapt the CFFA
to work on the //c, but a slot 4 would have to
be made to plug into the ram expansion port and
would only work on the 03/04 rom models, maybe
the //c Plus too. It would be a lot of work,
most likely more than designing a device from
scratch. Trouble there is, the CFFA's firmware
would have to be incorporated into the ROM of
the //c and that isn't an easy task. We'll get
you something. I'm working on an internal drive
and Roger Johnstone is working on the external
port's design. You may have a choice. I'm also
trying to find a good LCD screen that can be
attached to the machine and a battery pack that
can be taken along so you can have a portable
//c. wouldn't that be kool??? Yeah!!!!!

Donations are always welcome. I will put the
money to good use.  :o)

Thanks,
