Umm...a hard drive, perhaps?  If your Linux box has a SCSI card in it, this
could be a faster way (anywhere from 40 Mb/s (5 MB/s) on up) to move data
on/off your Apple II's hard drive than a network connection (230.4 kb/s for
LocalTalk) or serial connection (57.6 kb/s or less).  It might also be
useful in conjunction with an Apple II emulator.
