There's a Y-cable that gives you a DB-9 joystick plug, and a DB-25
disk drive plug.

Yes.  I think the software is on ftp.apple.com or ftp.info.apple.com

It can be any Apple // 5.25" disk drive with a DB-25 plug. (they're
all the same, inside)

On a Mac LCII, the graphics didn't go fast when the card was in the
Fast Mode.  The extra memory and 3.5" disk emulation is cool.  It also
emulates AppleTalk, and a clock.  If your HD has a ProDOS partition,
it will show up in the IIe emulator.
