[Coco] [coco} Upgrading a CC3 w OS9 or Nitros9

[Zippster]

The SCSI2SD boards are somewhat more expensive, $60 vs $40.

They are both great solutions.  I guess the deciding factor would be what interface
works best with the software you will run the most.  

Either one would be easy to backup on the PC, etc.

The SCSI2SD is useable with other systems that have a SCSI interface, if that matters.
