Right now the best thing around and the most readily available
is the CFFA card by Rich Dreher. It is I believe $105 and you can
get the CF cards from eBay fairly cheap. I just picked up a 256 mb
CF card for $51.24 shipped from there. I have 2 of his CFFA cards
and I love them. I use one in the IIgs and one for testing in the work
room. I'd like 2 more but I have my eye on the Apple I replica by
Vince Briel and that will take a few bucks. Here is the link to the
CFFA and if you need a cheap CF card for it, let me know and I'll
snag you one. It will do up to 1 gb I believe.

Good luck.
