    Hello all,

    I am looking for a First Class Peripheral's Sider 20 MB HD for my Apple IIe. Anyone willing to part with a unit for a reasonable price?

    Thanks,

    I have one, but it is not for sale. Sorry.

    As an alternative, you might want to check out the Microdrive Turbo IIe at:

    or search for "Apple II Hard Drive" options on Google Search.

    In that case, you should probably be aware of the solid-state alternatives
    to spinning rust. ;-)

    The storage media supported by one card or another are: USB ”thumb drive”, SD card, micro SD card, or Compact Flash card. Some implementations
    support multiple 5.25” images on a flash card. Most support multiple partitions (32MB for ProDOS, bigger for GSOS).

    Google “compact flash apple” and you’ll see a couple of versions...
