C64 SD Card Reader

Anyone know where to buy these or if any are currently in production anywhere?

Florida's Tony Kim sells the SD2IEC card drive at http://www.nkcelectronics.com/sd2iec-boar2.html  If you buy the accessory daughterboard, you can assemble it or let his company assemble it for you.

What's a DOS Wedge?[/QUOTE}
Instead of typing in long string commands, you can use the shortcut commands in the DOS wedge.  For some of the commands, look at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_Wedge

Also where did you get this info, are their firmware updates, etc?

For the current state of the uIEC and SD2IEC, look at

http://groups.google.com/group/uIEC-users/

...the WIKI's make it sound like they stopped building my hardware 2 years ago...

The uIEC/SD and the uIEC/CF are still available from Jim Brain, and the SD2IEC is still available from NKCElectronics.com

So would Jiffy Dos make navigating this easier?

Yes, with its built-in DOS wedge, JiffyDOS would make it easier to use.

OH, BTW, is there a GUI I could use in place of GEOS?

I cannot think of another GUI that can recognize the SD card drive.  Perhaps the GUI in the Final Cartridge 3.  To make it easier to use the SD card drive, you can use Payton Byrd's CBM-Command at  http://cbmcommand.codeplex.com/   or CBM FileBrowser at http://www.vic20.it/cbmfilebrowser/

And where do I download DOSWedge?

The DOS wedge is part of JiffyDOS.
