   I have one and I love it! It supports dsk, po, nib and woz files in Disk II   
   emulation mode. HDV files set it automatically to smartport mode, without   
   needing to restart, reset or reconfigure it. This is something that the   
   FloppyEMU cannot do.   
   I bought mine some time back as it came with an LCD for about 70$. Later   
   models have an OLED display. If you don't want to use the small keys or read   
   the small text on the screen, there is an on screen menu that appears when   
   no image is selected. This menu also allows you to boot woz images using   
   Anti-M for those games that were not compatible with later Apple II models.   
   It also features a shortcut to do fast disk copies using Locksmith.   
   I really hope that the store goes back online. I have been following the   
   facebook site for some time and not much has happened. I would like to get a   
   second one, and I would really recommend it to any fellow enthusiast.
