Question time:

Is there a cartridge for the CoCo that emulates a hard drive, uses something like an SD or CF card for storage, does not require a server such as a PC to operate, and is currently available?

I haven't found anything quite right yet. The SuperIDE interface looks cool, but if I recall correctly Mark told me it's no longer available. The CoCoNet DrivePak is listed as "available soon". I'm not interested in any of the various solutions that require a server on another machine. Ideally, I'd plug this mystery cartridge into an MPI along with my FD-501, use it and the floppy drives under either OS-9 or NitrOS-9 on my CoCo3, and have it at least not get in the way under BASIC if it isn't usable there.

I hope I can find something Just Right rather than adding another thing to the list of projects I'll never finish developing. :)
