He once told me that the driver would work up to 64MB.

Yes that sounds a logical limit.
... way higher than it will ever be, as even 16mb
Hmm.
Do we fill in another form, or just 1 question, or do nothing

There will be a supplementary form asking the additional questions.
Sorry - I thought I had said that in an earlier post.

It would be easy if I could post attachments - Micro APL provide a cross
compiler (68k to ColdFire) and emulation pack for CF V3 and 4 free of
charge, it's worth getting if not

I would love to put you to the test,
I know a bit about the romdisq and it sounds like an interesting piece of
hardware.
How does the romdisq compare to a cut-down qubide with space for one or
many CF cards? Not that there's much to 'cut down' on the already very
sparse qubide!
