I remember David Empson posting that you can use a SuperDrive
controller and a SuperDrive to access 1.44MB and 720k MS-DOS
disks from the PC Transporter, thus NOT needing to use the disk
port on the PC Transporter at all.  He'll have to refresh my memory
on the exact details.

Since Marlin has a SuperDrive/SuperDrive controller, this would
be a better way to go and allow the setting of fast I/O.
