Up to now, Rich Dreher’s CompactFlash/IDE card has only worked on the enhanced Apple IIe or Apple IIgs (i.e., systems with a 65C02 cpu). But, he is in the middle of retooling the firmware to allow the card to work with the 6502 cpu, which would let the card work with ProDOS on the II+ and IIe. Good news!
