I'd like more information on this device!  Who's making this?  Is there
programmer's information available?

I'd like to equip my other Apples with something like this so I can trans
port the disks I write with my SVA ZVX4 directly to them.  (I use a pair
of high-density 5.25" *BM-style drives on the ZVX4, which is an 8" disk
controller).

Sounds like it could also be a more flexible replacement for my ZVX4!  :-)

I already transfer data back and forth to *BM clones this way (via 22DISK
by Sydex on the 80x86 end).
