   PC Transporters are probably more common (unless someone from
///SHH Systeme wants to say they've sold 50,000+) than BlueDisks.
However, I'd still think that less than 2% of normal Apple II
users have any ability to read PC floppies.

   Where I do use the word "rare" in the FAQ is all on the PC side--
the PC boards for reading A2 disks are exceedingly uncommon.
