My Apple 3.5 Drive connected to my "PC Transporter" (in my IIgs) boots disks
with no problem.  It is slower than it would be if connected directly to the
smartport (about the same as using a disk  that was formatted with 4:1
interleaving) but it does have the HUGE advantage that it will read and
write PC disks (720 kbyte variety) as well as Apple II disks.
