Re: IIgs support for the FloppyEMU: there are quite a few devices out there that cover parts of the same territory. Here's a pretty comprehensive list. To really make the FloppyEMU the go-to device for IIgs users I'd hazard that you'd want to cover the following territory:
1: 800k "native" floppy emulation. (IE, using an 800k drive the "same way" a Mac does vs. SmartPort protocol. This is probably the area least-well-covered by the Apple II-focused solutions. Being able to do 800k images as if they were hosted by a SmartPort "Unidisk" drive would also be useful and would make the device attractive to IIe and IIc users as well.)
2: 140k floppy emulation. (There's a lot of Apple II software out there, mostly self-booters, that aren't ported to 800k format yet, so a IIgs with only access to 3.5 inch drives is at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing the entire library.)
3: SmartPort hard disk emulation. (IE, "HD-20 for Apple II's". There are a couple devices out there for that.)
It would be *really* nice to have a device that could handle at least two of these functions at once. (Pick two, any two. All three would be super, super awesome.) Since the existing FloppyEMU can't do HD-20 and floppy simultaneously I assume you'd have to modify the hardware to achieve that, however.
(PS: Regarding the CCFA 3000... it's nice, but availability is a problem and it costs a mint. *And* it requires a slot. Yes, not a problem for IIe and IIgs users, but a floppy-port based solution also works for the IIc.)
