Yes, it would probably require one more chip like the Vinculum VNC1L
which goes for $10.90 from Digikey in single-piece quantities.
If you google this news group you will find RedSkull was posting about a
project where he was using this chip. Not sure what became of this project.
I know I was initially interested in this when it first came out a few
years ago, as I have wanted USB on the Apple II for quite a while now.
They originaly did not support direct sector (raw) writing, only read
for debug purposes.
I see now after a quick check of the latest firmware manual they do
support raw reads and writes now but still classified as debug
functionality.
