The cost is between $90 to $100. Caveat emptor!! My wife has two of these boards -- one in a PS/2 - mod 30, and one in an XT clone -- and they do not work reliably. There are floppy drives that are incompatible with the Copy II PC Deluxe Option Board, and potentially, certain controllers may play a part. We have gotten a level of reliability with the PS/2 but the XT clone has been a disaster area so far. CP has just sent her an upgrade to their software, so we will try that next. = =According to the folks at Wordperfect, you can use the IBM version 5, =and the Apple version 1a of WordPerfect and transfer the data files =directly. 4.2 also works with MAC WordPerfect.
