The site is updated and you can find some photos at http://www.spvhd.org
Some minors details have to be reviewed before the public availability,
but the device start to see the light !!!

"This project is providing a mass storage to the Apple //c, the only
Apple II without expansions slots. The external floppy connector of
Apple II, aka smartport, is exploited to its best to reach this goal.
The resulting device allows the Apple II to view the content of an usb
device as one or more hard disk."

sooooo, this will work with my ROM255 //C, might want to rephrase your
claims =)

Nice work, Cedric. Nice work indeed!

I'm looking forward to using these.

BTW, how does your firmware determine which of the image files on the USB
device will be mounted as ProDOS volumes, and the order in which they will
be mounted?

You are right Kevin, I assumed the reader would check the compatibility
section, but it could be not the case...

Thanks !

The usb device have to be FAT formated, and the image files are stored
into a folder at the root. Image files are named drive0.img, drive1.img
and so on up to drive9.img, they are prodos ordered image. I think the
..img extension will be changed to .po extension in next firmware to
follow existing standards.
The naming scheme is 'sparse', ie you can have only drive2.img and
drive8.img presents, they will be mapped sequentially by the operating
system.
