Reminds me of a few years ago when a fellow showed us how he used a
IIe with a modified ProGrappler connected to the parrallel port of a PC
to access data and boot programs stored on the PCs hard drive. The guy
considered the project a failure as he had to preboot software on both
computers before being able to do this.
