Looking for clues and some help with a compact flash card for the Apple II.

Back in the day when Dune BBS was going strong , this was back in the 80's , the board was sold to a guy who I think lived in Cucamunga or Rancho Cucamunga? Ring a bell to anyone that may have lived in that area or remembers this? I think the boards name was changed also , his alias was The Wrench and I think he called it The Repair Shop? Just hoping that this would strike a clue for someone who remembers , you see this guy possibly still has the original Greymater Hard Drive that ran the board . We would like to see if he still has it stored away somewhere.... Also , do you think it is possible to run GBBS with a Compact Flash Card? I see this advertised and that they show alot of space tha tyou can store on them... Would be interesting to copy all the necessary files that GBBS used , and copy them to the card and see if it would run correctly. Ofcourse some changes would need to be made in terms of the directories and what not , but I don't think this is a problem. I am told that the compact flash cards have ProDos on them? No way to have them come with regular DOS 3.3?

Thanks guys and I look forward to your answers.
