I posted a while back with the idea of having an add-on board to handle the 
diskette situation.

Right now, no PC on earth can read an apple 5.25" or 3.5" diskette. This is a 
real problem for PC-based emulators, and I feel the emulator world would really 
boom if a solution could be reached.

The bottom line is that disk images are a pain in the butt, and we need to find  
a hardware solution that would allow a PC to read them.
