CompactFlash / IDE Interface for Apple II

Posted by timothy on from the not-for-everyone dept.

The card is ProDOS 8 compatible and supports up to 64 Meg (two ProDOS 32Meg drives). I am very impressed with the work this guys work. Definitely a case of old technology meeting new."

    If we head down this road =) , would an Apple IIe have the horsepower to decode mp3's in realtime? I'm tending not to think so.
    Has anyone tried this? =)

    Arg! I be The Pirate! Arrrrrr! Back in my day, we didn't be havin' none of this Apple, nor any of this Compact Flash bull ya'll be touting at this here ... dot, slash... whatever! Why back in my day, you were lucky to get a lime for dinner! And if i here just one limey joke, i'll cut yer tounge out and eat it, served up with a side of liver!

    But, at any rate, arrrr, i suppose i could be seein' the fun of makin' yer apples more compact. I mean, more room for plunder and women! And, if there's more room for women, there can be more for raping, of said women. YARG!

    ...and the first post to ask the question got modded out of existence. It's redundant to...a post that nobody can see. Gotta love it. :)
