BurgerDisk is a Smartport hard drive for the Apple II. Its main unique feature is that it is daisy-chainable. As all Smartport SD-based hard drives, it’s more adapted to the non-slotted Apple II, like the //c and IIgs.
It is more suited for people who want to be able to use a hard disk drive in conjunction with floppy drives, and less for people who want to replace floppies with images, as it has no on-device button or screen to change the images.
BurgerDisk is loosely based on SmartportSD and on code & documentation written by Cédric Peltier during their development of SmartportVHD, the only other chainable “hard drive” implementation. Their project, sadly, is abandoned and based on an exotic microcontroller.
Some units should be up for sale in a few days, and anyone with a soldering iron can build it themselves: BurgerDisk is fully free software and open hardware.
The name of the project is in honor of Rebecca Heineman’s memory.
