PC Transporter does not equal Corvus Constellation transporter.
Corvus Transporter is a network card.
PC Transporter card is the coprocessor component of an IBM
Turbo XT emulator for the Apple II. This emulator uses both
the card's V30 processor (for crunching 80186 code) and the
Apple II CPU (for processing I/O and emulating XT ports) to
pull off the emulation.
