Before doing this, I would recommend the PC Transporter from AE that let's you run IBM stuff inside your Apple ][. It's got 640k (in ibm mode), 7.6Mhz 8086, CGA graphics and uses all your existing Apple // peripherals as if they were pluged into an ibm...(modem, printer, & drives) It has a port for ibm drives. If this isn't enough for you, THEN I'd get the Trackstar board for the ibm. >______________________________________________________________________________ >Mike Ungerman |Proline:mikeu@pro-magic >Pro-Magic BBS: 407-366-0156 |uucp:crash!pnet01!pro-magic!mikeu >300/1200/2400/9600 Baud 24hrs |arpa:crash!pnet01!pro-magic!mikeu@nosc.mil >Apple Tree of Central Florida, Inc |Internet:mikeu@pro-magic.cts.com >Orlando, Florida|Voice:407-366-0060|Compuserve:71326,31 Prodigy: JSNP58A ---------------------------------------- Michael J.
