Has anybody had experience with this board? How does it attach? I was
watching the auction, but the price just shot out of my price range.
It's getting as expensive as the 3.5 Controller Card.
It plugs into an 8-bit (ISA) slot and is an alternate controller for
a 3.5" floppy (I'm guessing a 720KB drive, 800KB with Apple formatting).
It looks like the device is no longer connected to the PC's controller,
so the Option Board controller must handle MFM as well as GCR formats.
