You can do it with hardware.  I have two new Trackstar boards that
plug into your pc and give you complete Apple //e coprocessing abilities.
You can use the video, hard disk, and some floppy drives of your pc.
They retail new for $445, I'll sell one new for $200.  If you are
interested, send email to fordke@ingr.com and I can send you more
information.  BTW, a utility lets you move data between MSDOS and ProDOS.
