disk and onto an IBM PS/2 model 50?  I have an Apple IIgs that my dad did
I lot of wordprocessing on and now we also have a IBM.  I want to take

There is a board called the Trackstar that will go into a IBM PC and run
Apple // software.  It also comes with a program that will let you transfer
files between ProDOS and MSDOS.  Your IBM PC hard disk can ALSO be used as
an Apple // hard disk.  I really like it.  If you would like more info,
send me email, call my BBS, or call me.  I'll be glad to send you the info
sheets on the Trackstar.
