....Big Mess Of Wires SD card reader....
....Also known as the FloppyEmu :) . What's nice is that in addition to emulating a floppy drive, they can also emulate an HD20 (an early Apple-produced hard drive that connects via the external floppy port) which means you can have a large,  multi-gigabyte SD card inserted, and you can use it all as one contiguous chunk.

There's also the SCSI2SD you may want to consider at some point, when you have the money. They use a microSD card, and basically replicate a SCSI hard drive, so the computer doesn't know the difference (it can even identify itself as an Apple ROM-ed drive, so all the stock utilities work unmodified). And the best part is that the latest version apparently doesn't even need extra power, as it can run off term (SCSI Termination) power alone, making it a very light load for the PSU compared to a spinning disk.
