I hear you joseph. I prefer using the actual hardware from the given timeframe. I like the modern solutions to help me get the images from Internet to floppy media (or hard drives) and for quick access to a given title so I can test it on a certain machine and then transfer to floppy. I also love having all my diagnostic software handy in one place (even though I've got actual floppies of all of them anyway!) I was actually responding to Ethan's email about wishing there was a ~$60ish cf or sd card for the IIgs. Tony Sent from my iPhone

I actually already have a Floppy Emu banging around that I got for basically free a while back, and I have external floppy drives and ADT anyhow. Actually, I also have it set up to boot off of LocalTalk from one of my powermacs. I really just want a SCSI card so that I can have some permanent standalone storage that's also period-accurate and also literally just so I can play with synthlab-- I can install it on my AppleTalk share, but it turns out synthlab won't start up with AppleTalk active.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!
If you want simple and inexpensive the sddisk][ form Plamen in Bulgaria hooks directly to the disk II controller card.
