I own ALF 2.0. It its true that zou will have a transfer rate of 460kb/s.
With Alf 2.0 you can password your partitions and even autoboot,when 
you have KS1.3 and have an extra card mounted.Without the extra card it boots
only after a RESET.All in all it is the cheapest way of getting a 63 Meg HD.
with RLL formatted.
I'm glad to have alf
