I think you meant Apple II emulators. Rather than the disk drive? Since the emulators could run disk images.
No I meant disk drive emulator's I use one on my C128 to use .d64 images I store them on a SD card.
I also e-mailed the maker of this one..
HXC Drive Emulator Link...
Maybe if he gets enough requests he will support the apple ][ as well..

There's the Semi-Virtual Disk (SVD):

The upcoming CFFA 3000 supports disk images:

I like the CFFA 3000 I hope I can just copy my Kegs HD to it and be ready to go hope I can afford it..lol
Yep, that'll work fine.

I know this subject is old, but I'm interested in some kind of disk emulation either on SD or USB sticks, just like the 800k 3.5 floppies to be able to load tons of files from one disk. It needs to work with all Apples, like my IIc.
I found several solutions (thanks in part to MacLCD blog) but some are hardware specific or use proprietary formats;
Pseudo Disk ][ Controller Card
Uses a slot.
SDISK II - DISK II emulator for APPLE II
This is one of the best, but uses a proprietary format
Semi-Virtual Diskette (SVD)
Limited to RAM.
CFFA3000
Excellent but uses a slot and its expensive.
Smartport Virtual Hard Drive
Great solution, but expensive and it is IIc only.
The guy from MacLCD is working in one, I'm following him with great expectations.

Maybe slightly orthogonal to your question, but a solution to having a disk image on-a-wire is the Virtual Drive from ADTPro:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/vdrive.html
That lets you host ProDOS disk images of arbitrary size over a serial or Ethernet link. Not the solution for playing DOS games, obviously - but it expands the storage options in otherwise difficult to expand situations.
Funny you mention this David, as I was updating my version of ADT yesterday and found out about this function. Now if there was a way to combine that with the Apple ][ Game server...

The creator says that they Smartport Virtual Hard Drive works with the L-Iron card in the Apple IIe's and IIGS's.
The smart port sounds great but albeit being expensive the creator does not answer the messages, hope he provided the co so we could try to create our versions, as he doesn't seem to sell them no more.

Reserecting an old thread. I have been looking at these disk emulators. Does anyone have any experience with the Pseudo Disk II or the SDisk II? I like the Pseudo Disk II since it does not rely on the drive controller.
