I've always been interested in the PC Transporter card. The ability to have an early IBM CGA style machine in my IIgs would be very handy as I like to play some of those old PC games still (I use a PCjr for this purpose right now). I have some questions about this card though:
1. How rare are they and how expensive would it be to get a working setup (card and disk drives)
2. How compatible is the card with games? I'd be interested in running very old PC games on it, not productivity software. I assume as long as the game followed IBM's standards it would run.
3. Is it true you have to use special 5.25" drives with the card? Are those drives impossible to find now?
I know it's just cheaper to keep an old PC around, but I really would like to try this. :)
