Anybody want a "Trackstar E"?

[aramos@coil.com (Tony Ramos)]

A long while ago a hacker friend of mine unloaded some of his unwanted PC
peripherals on me, and one of them was a card called the "TrackStar E".
It's basically an Apple //e on an ISA card, with cables for accessing the
PC's monitor and floppy drive, with pass through capability.

Back when my PC was just a 386SX-16 with a CGA monitor, I installed the
TrackStar. It worked a treat, and I was able to run almost all the Apple
software I could get my hands on.

The TrackStar can access up to 10MB of the PC's hard drive using ProDos. A
real Apple floppy drive can also be attached for complete compatibility
with protected software, and the Trackstar can route Apple printing
commands to the PC's printer. It even makes the usual Apple // noises
through the PC speaker! 

Besides reading actual Apple disks, the Trackstar can work with
"TrackStore" disk images which are stored on the PC's file system.
The files have the extension .APP and store either 40 or 80 tracks. The 80
track format includes information for duplicating protected software.

Here are the specs, from the Trackstar E manual:
