A bi-directional Apple II parallel interface? Wow. Would it be
possible to use a ProFile interface card to connect those PC
parallel port drives to it, provided the proper driver software
could be written? Someone mentioned it has a ROM. Could such
driver software be written into a new ROM so that PC parallel
storage devices could look like smartport devices?
