Ok, but you can always put the drives on top of the //gs, or get an
internal hard drive (like one of mine :)

There are now CF adapters and IDE interfaces available for the Apple ][.
You can always get one of the IDE interfaces and install an internal HD
for relatively cheap (I don't think either interface is over $100).
