Hi all,
I've a largely stock enhanced Apple IIe that I'd like to add a SmartPort SD/CF boot device to, I've the Disk II card, Floppy Emu (but usually use this on my Macs, so probably not the best option). There are a lot of homebrew projects around however I'd be keen for a kit or affordable basic card - anyone have any tips or recommendations?
These are the ones I've found - limitations on price and current available of parts
ReactiveMicro Drive turbo (in stock, old design, ?not SmartPort compatible?, my best option?)

AppleIISD

SoftFP card - has some caveats for use with a Floppy Emu (and I probably won't use the Floppy Emu much)
ct6502.org
wDrive emulator (no SmartPort support unless you use the above ROM patch card)
ct6502.org
Booti - perfect, but out of stock
ct6502.org
SDDiskIIPlus - perfect, but too expensive
Thanks
JB
