I am considering whether or not to purchase AE's PC Transporter for my
GS and would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer
a few questions about it.  

Has anyone experienced compatability problems with it?  How about
problems in general?

Will it be able to read 3.5 disks from my current drives (AE and Apple
3.5s)?  How about 5.25s?  It seems that an Apple 5.25 won't work since
they sell special 5.25 drives, but I'm not sure.

How fast is it?  What's its clock speed?  Can it use my GS's memory,
or does it need its own?

What kind of graphics does it support (ega,vga,...)?  How many colors?

How easy is it to switch between GS and PC modes?  Anything else that
I should know about it?

Thanks in advance for any help.  I'd much rather learn the answers to
these questions from someone that has used the Transporter before or
is experienced with it than from some semi-knowledgable salesperson.
