Subject: iDisk for Apple 2 update
Dear all, the following is an update for iDisk for Apple 2

1. New mod is done, no chassis cutting required (but one or two USB
extension cable(s) is required to get USB port out)

http://sites.google.com/site/idiskapple2/home

2. Price reduction. With great amount of hard work during the past
weeks, the price is redcued A LOT. However, the penalty is that it
will take much longer for us to make one card and it will take few
weeks longer for customers to receive it.

3. One more model is provided, without Bluetooth function so the cost
can be reduced further for some one who does not want to use Bluetooth
or may not be able to use Bluetooth (Mac/Linux users).

4. Paypal payment method is added in addition to credit card.

5. Several people emailed us asking what else iDisk can do? First, we
have been working on USB keyboard and USB paddle. Second, we have also
ported an Embedded Linux (Applinux) to iDisk (iDisk is ARM7 based ),
so that you can have dual boot system (Apple ][/Linux), turn your
Apple][ to Linux machine and that will open up oppertunities for many
applications with only software effort. So far, we were able to run
few apps (mp3/jpeg/web browsing...), it is still very very primitive
though. However, the above developments will not be continued.

Cheers

Sounds good :), liking the price reduction am now tempted to get one
for my GS to play some old Games :). Will the USB Keyboard support
come as just a firmware update?

I think you're doing an awesome job here. Congrats!!

About the USB cables, though -- since you're already running them from
the front of the board to the back of the computer, have you thought
about machining an aluminum plate and then just have the cables
terminate there? (It would be more $$$, I know, but it might look a lot
better). The plate could leave a rectangular hole for the bluetooth
assembly to go through.

Excellent!  I'm glad you took the criticism in a positive sense and were able
to sharpen your pencil.

I'm puzzled by that remark.  AFAIK, both MacOS and Linux have support for
Bluetooth devices.  Can you explain?

> 4. Paypal payment method is added in addition to credit card.

Again, thanks for taking constructive criticism!

Steve
