CompactFlash / IDE Interface for Apple II

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

jutpm writes: "This page describes a project to create an IDE / CompactFlash Interface card for 8 bit Apple II series of computers. 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."

    A bombshell was dropped on the already fragmented linux community today when it was revealed by slashdot.org and linuxnews.com that linux is unsuitable in the server environment. This is is a particularly brutal blow, because the server market was the only area the linux ever had any success. Sadly, this will be hereafter known as the day linux was diagnosed with its fatal disease, a disease that's ultimate cause is poor engineering and programming practices in the linux community.

    Linux rode a wave of greed from the dot-bomb bubble to achieve its current height of popularity, now it will crash hard, like a big-wave surfer going over the falls. People are busily distancing themselves from linux. Linux supporters are looking like a bunch of incompetent fools now. Who would want to be associated with such a dismal failure as linux?
