Accelerators for the //e are impossible to find. I realize that they are not 
trivial. What is to prevent you or Henry from reverse-engineering an Apple 
//e  zip chip and doing a production run?

Unless someone does this, I will never get one. Henry has one that he needs 
for future testing.

What do you think it would cost if you had a run of 100 or so and took 
pre-orders?

>Oh yeah. Now you need to get a CFFA, as well.

I don't think I need one. This Microdrive seems to work excellently. Why do 
you think I need a CFFA? When I get my GS I will be buying a Microdrive as 
well unless someone gives me a compelling reason not to or indicates why I 
should buy a CFFA instead.
