I use a board called Trackstar that is a full Apple //e coprocessor.
You can use the floppy drives to read in ProDOS files, then convert
them to MSDOS format.  You also get to use the hard drive with both
ProDOS and MSDOS.  The Trackstar, since it is a coprocessor, can
continue to operate in the background while you do your MSDOS stuff
in the foreground.  I use one for an Apple2/IBM BBS I run.  If you
would like more info, let me know.  I have a big packet of stuff.
