    I have them, but I haven't used them lately.

    Glad to meet you all here.

    I have 5--IIee,IIc,IIc+,IIgs1,IIgs3.
    But i live in emulators, these days.

    I need to make room, and get a storage device or two,
    so i can test stuff on the real deal.

    I have an Apple //e and an Apple IIgs.
    Mostly I use them for FPGA development.

    Hi,

    I have 5--IIee,IIc,IIc+,IIgs1,IIgs3.
    But i live in emulators, these days.

    I need to make room, and get a storage device or two,
    so i can test stuff on the real deal.

    For the slotted machines the A2Pico running the A2retroNET firmware is an interesting mass storage solution. See https://jcm-1.com/product/a2pico/

    Regards,
    Oliver

    In the last 24 hours asciiexpress.net has logged 244 unique IPs
    streaming 107 unique games and downloading 92 unique disk images. The
    top game was Swashbuckler, and the top disk image was DOS 3.3.

    Since this service is for physical Apple IIs, I'd wager there are some
    actual users out there.
