Re: Hardware projects - which would be most popular?

7. Smartport to IDE  - to Compact Flash.  
  
This would be small and draw little power (ideal for those of us with
//c or //c+ and clones).
  
Let's face it, it's getting harder to find small hard drives, either
IDE or SCSI.
The 170MB Focus drive I just got has a manufacture date of July  
1995 on the hard drive.  
(And my 20MB Focus drive on the //e is almost 10 years old)  
  
I have a lot more faith in Compact Flash, which is why I ordered the
IDE card from
http://dreher.net/CFforAppleII/  
  
And with that project complete it appears part of the work is already
done.
  
Oh yeah, I'd like an inexpensive (under $50) VGA converter as well.
