Well, the problem with that combination specifically is the amount of 
memory the VEDrive driver takes up.  There isn't a lot of space left for 
your program.  (And, it's not available in 16 bit environments.)  Device 
drivers outside of ROM on an expansion slot is simply not the Apple II's 
strong suit.  It works fantastically in SOS - because device drivers are 
part of the OS's architecture.  Not so in ProDOS.  If I were smarter, or 
had some help, maybe we could get this working under ProDOS 16.

If you can live in the restricted memory footprint the Ethernet driver 
affords you, it's pretty handy.

A word of caution - just because it plugs into the CF slot it doesn't 
guarantee it'll work in the CFFA3000.  Some of these devices weren't 
available when we were testing the first couple of versions of the 
CFFA3000, so there are some devices that may be little speculative yet. 
  There are certainly some USB devices that for sure don't work - such 
as hubs.
