stevelanc Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I've just acquired an Apple lle. I'm looking at getting an SD card reader for it. Does anyone have any preferences to which one to go for i.e. price, capabilities, ease of use etc. Thanks in advance Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtmonkey Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I just installed this in my Apple IIc, though it apparently works with the entire classic Apple II range: https://www.bigmessowires.com/shop/product-category/floppy-emu/ It works great and using the built-in screen is not as annoying as I thought it would be (just need to sort your disk images into folders to minimize scrolling up and down too much). Building the included case was a bit of a pain, but once I got it all together it was fine. I haven't used any other drive emulators, but I'm happy with this one.

R.Cade Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Depends if you wanted hard drive or floppy emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernesto Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I recommend the wdrive. Best price/performance out there. A new batch is currently in production. http://kboohk.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Entity Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 MircoDrive Turbo is nice, mounts similarly to a RAMfast card. Its IDE or CF though not SD... otherwise one of the many floppulators.. although you could use it with... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-Free-Drop-shipping-SD-SDHC-MMC-to-2-5-44pin-IDE-Male-Adapter-Converter/474299465.htmlor similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelanc Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Thanks for the advice, folks. I quite like the sound of the wdrive. Does anybody know how to preorder one in the new batch being produced (I could not see anything on the website) or, alternatively, does someone out there have one to sell?

cybernesto Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 They can be ordered on May 10th. https://twitter.com/kboohk/status/1123820850850017280?s=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
