What makes you believe that this card will work with PC 5.25" drives?

Admittedly, the only thing that I know about this card is from Lobo Drives
advertisements in the March/April 1980 (Vol. 1, No. 1), and the Spring
1981 (Vol. 2, No. 1) of Apple Orchard.

I could not find any articles in old Apple II magazines about using 8"
disk drives. I beleive that the Lobo drives are supposed to be software
transparent.

Any information that you could pass on to me would be greatly appreciated.

Brian
