I could be wrong, but the drive controllers are enough different that you need
some more hardware.  Try the Copyiipc option board deluxe from Central Point
Software.  It will do what you want for about $70.  It also comes with software
to convert some programs' file formats.  I've never tried to do this with the
board, but it is supposed to work.
