Tag: block device

Provides ProFile-style block storage from a raw SD card for enhanced Apple IIe and Apple IIgs systems.

The repository publishes binaries, firmware, VHDL, schematics, layout files, Gerbers, and a bill of materials, but no explicit license was verified. Capacity is limited to four 65,535-block volumes, or about 128 MB total. Under ProDOS, programs on the third and fourth partitions have a documented launch problem. This is a build project rather than a current assembled product.

Mounts as many as eight block-device images from USB storage or microSD through slot-card and Apple IIc CPU-socket versions.

The original Xdrive page said Sold out on 2026-07-24, and the Xdrive2c page said Sold out on 2026-07-27. Each assembled product included a USB drive with software and its manual; a microSD card was not included. Installing the slot card backward can damage it. Xdrive2c supports ROM 03, ROM 04, ROM 4X, and custom-ROM IIc systems and can work with a Zip Chip, 65816 adapter, or MB4c Mockingboard through optional cables or adapters. Very early hairpin-keyboard IIc systems need plastic-brace removal or a compatible low-profile stiffener.
