There is a board called the Trackstar that will go into a IBM PC and run
Apple // software.  It also comes with a program that will let you transfer
files between ProDOS and MSDOS.  Your IBM PC hard disk can ALSO be used as
an Apple // hard disk.  I really like it.  If you would like more info,
send me email, call my BBS, or call me.  I'll be glad to send you the info
sheets on the Trackstar.
