any Clones of the FLASH ROM FMX008M ???

Hi has anyone done that?? Heard about it before but never seen many for sale at an affordable price at all.
It is a pretty cool feature to have and i think it should be deserved and affordable for all the 2000/XL users. I had this thought recently while im at the dilemma that my xl's os was screwed accidentally with the card reader.

Im not an expert at all with all this but I have the interest to clone this board or maybe other mpc PCB boards in the future.
I can also try to get in touch with some professional factories in China to produce them at a more acceptable price.
THanks

2000XL users don't really get much advantage by adding FMX008M module. I see that it is great for 2000 Classic users who have to have boot disk ready each time turning on the machine.

I think that installing SCSI memory card reader would be a much better solution, although you have to manage manage to have SCSI connection internally. Fortunately there is a solution for that already (basically connect to SCSI port on the back of 2000 Classic, and pull that cable to inside), so you don't have to solder SCSI port inside!

I think this should work with 2000 classic;

The hardest part is to find the right connector so that you can route from the external SCSI port to internal 3.5 enclosure area.
