   I gather one can connect compactflash cards via an IDE interface.   
      
   I remmeber when I changed one of my 5.25" floppies to a 3.5" floppy,   
   I could suddenly have everything I used on one floppy and then use   
   the 5.25" floppy for data.   
      
   I'd only need a few megs for all the floppies I have for the CoCo.
