A modern //c-compatible external hard drive

I'd missed this in my searching around, but there is (going to be) an option for external mass storage on a //c, the SmartPort Virtual Hard Drive, which allows you to plug in a USB thumb drive, with a note from last month saying that deliveries may begin this month.

It does require a ROM 0 or greater //c, and at least two of my three //cs are only ROM 255 (I haven't checked the third), so I'm going to need to upgrade one if I want to use it. But that shouldn't be too much of a challenge, I hope.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on that.
