Your not wrong, just under informed. I once believed the PC 5.25 floppy drive hardware was incapable of reading my Apple II 5.25 diskettes. :) Even after I heard that it could I didn't believe it until I tried it.


Would a trackstar & PC 5.25 do that?

Yes, by substituting the TrackStar controller for the PC controller.

But the new news (about a year old now) is that a stock PC controller
connected to (some) stock PC 5.25" drive, and another drive on the
same controller with a disk inserted, can read Apple II GCR disks!

Google DISK2FDI for the scoop.
