So you're saying that
the CFFA3000 in the Apple III is different than in the Apple II.
The CFFA is exactly the same. It's the computer that is different. The
III boot ROM only knows how to boot from the 5 1/4" floppy. (Or the
keyboard.)
For the Apple III, are you saying that I cannot
completely
dispose of the use of the floppy drive?
Unless you replace the boot ROM with an EPROM with a modified monitor
that knows how to boot from another device. Shouldn't be too hard, but
AFAIK it doesn't currently exist.
