I have a Trackstar board.  It is an Apple //e co-processor that plugs into
your pc.  It will use the hard disk, an external Apple disk drive or some
brands of 360K pc drives.  It is a true co-processor.  It will continue to
run while you do something in pc mode.  I have one available that is brand
new.  The retail is $445, but I'm selling it for $250.  Add $50 for an
external Apple disk drive.  If you're interested, I can also send you a
package of information from the manufacturer.  Just send me you address.
I use one of these boards to maintain a bbs that supports both pc and
Apple2 machines.  It works great!!!  Phone calls welcome, 205-730-8614.
