The CFFA 3000 board for Apple II computers
Glad I purchased one of these Apple II hard-disk emulation boards a couple of years ago.
The price was right (~$175) and the creator has since ended the production. They pop up now and then on eBay for over $500. You'll find nice Apple II systems with this board in them selling for thousands.
I also downloaded at the time the sum-total of Apple II software and associated materials, about 250GB - the Asimov collection. I think most of it is distributed now on the Internet Archive.
This is for the Apple IIgs I have. Picked it up several years ago on eBay for maybe $150. It includes a color RGB monitor and 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives.
It's been a while since I powered it up, but as I recall it had around 4-5MB of RAM installed. The max is 8, so this unit is pretty well spec'ed out.
Next time I spend any time with it, it will be to load games & programs from a USB device into the CFFA. I pretty much just installed the CFFA and verified it worked, poked around a little. It's a really well-done product.
