 I would like to be able to read (and write if possible) Apple II
disks on my 386sx. I am aware of at least one product that claims to add this
capability - Matchpoint-PC from MicroSolutions. This is a card (only?) that
hooks into the existing hardware and enables you to use one of their s/w
products, Uniform, to acess the diskette.

  ARe there any other alternatives (besides the obvious serial connection,
please *don't* bother mentioning it). I would have thought that the Copy-II
PC Option Board from Central Point could do something with this, with the
proper software but their sales support doesn't know or acknowledge any
such capability. Can anybody correct/clarify this ? If it's not possible
could anyone give me a simple explanation why or, better yet, direct me
to a published discussion of the problem.
