Apple /// Rides Again!

It lives. This was the diversion I mentioned in another recent post - I needed a little firmware support to stitch everything together. The driver comes with instructions and covers all the minute details, but by way of a quick overview, the driver:
* Supports eight SmartPort devices configured on the CFFA3000
* Has hot-swapping capabilities - drives are "removable" the same way a floppy is
* Has an integrated formatter that lays down a SOS/ProDOS filesystem structure
* Runs at full speed... 2 blazing MHz. No downshifting required, unlike the original CFFA hardware.
The beta driver is available now from the beta downloads page.
