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 performance compared to devices like the BOOTi if you use an SD card, the long filename support is very handy, and it's affordable and available (as of the making of this video).

Check it out!
