Other than the prices, what are some of the differences between the CFFA and IIgs MicroDrive IDE Controller? They both seem to have similar features, as far as I can tell. Which one may be better suited for my ROM1 IIGS?

I am unable to comment on the IIgs microdrive as I don't have one. On the otherhand, I can recommend the CFFA whole heartedly. Its support for the IIgs is fantastic. I have one in my IIgs, II+, and III. Soon, I hope to have one in my Apple I clone. GS/OS is very well supported and quite fast. Along with a 9 MHz accelerator and 4MB, GS/OS is actually useable.

How's the performance and speed of the CFFA?
I have to agree, I have a CFFA, and a 4MB RAM board and it's really nice. I don't know about speed but claims are near DMA speed with the GSOS driver enabled.
I have the Briel 4MB board and I love it too.
And yes I know I dug up an old thread.
