1) The smaller board is smaller because small. Seriously though, the J8 connector is closer on the Plus than on the 128/512... so it just allows for slightly different cable management. This part is now discontinued because.... 2) The J8 on a 128/512 board is further away from the mount point...

For the record, the part you list here is seemingly the exact same part I listed above... and it's $1.20 cheaper per unit on Mouser. So if you're buying in quantity, that might be a consideration. https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=0026604110

If you have a direct link to this "KK396" part at either Mouser or Digikey, please post it.

Hey, gang! I had a chance to tinker around with the new Xdrive mass storage card for the Apple II (from JD Micro and MacEffects) and found it to be a breath of fresh air compared to other similar USB based mass storage solutions for the Apple II. Big take aways are that it's got great write...
