Hi Nels,

My thoughts may be less than helpful but here goes...

I am anxiously awaiting my Microdrive from Reactive Micro with the CF card 
that I can plug into my PC and copy my diskimages then walk over to my real 
enhanced Apple //e and plug it in and then make physical disks if I want.

Here is something you may want to look at:

This may not be the case today but it is a place to start. Paul went on to 
say:

This is what I used-to do and when I resurrected my Apple II stuff, I 
grabbed an Apple //e with a super serial card, then started looking at what 
other people were doing and breathed a sigh of relief when I found CF cards 
available for both Apple //e and C64.

I think this might be something you want to do as well.
