The problem here is that the IBM machines connect the Commodore drive
through the parallel port and the PC Transporter doesn't have a
parallel port and the Apple parallel cards (except for very rare
cards) do not support bi-directional data throughput which is required
to send/receive data from the Commodore drive.

Good thought, though.
