According to the September 1987 issue of A+:

   Second, a powerful, custom, sin-
gle-chip disk controller includes
the functions of the Apple IWM
chip (used in the Apple IIe, IIGS,
and Macintosh) plus the ability to
read from and write to IBM-com-
patible drives.  The disk controller
chip allows you to connect several
types of disk drives to the PC Trans-
porter.  It is perhaps the most flexi-
ble personal-computer disk con-
troller ever designed.  You can
daisy-chain up to four drives off
PC Transporter--as many as two
IBM drives and two IIGS-style 3.5-
inch drives (officially called Apple
3.5 Drives).  The older Apple Uni-
Disk 3.5 drives can't be connected
to PC Transporter.  The IBM drives
may be either 5 1/4- or 3.5-inch
format.
