[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Apple emulation on a PC card?

jhc00614@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (J Chung) (02/08/91)

     I have an Amiga 2000 computer w/ which I run MS-DOS w/ my
XT bridgeboard (pretty much an IBM on a card so I can run MS-DOS and
Amiga dos simultaneously).  The thing is, before I moved to an Amiga,
I had an Apple // for 5 years and still have tons of software left
(though I have long since sold the computer).
     I have heard that there is a card available for MS-DOS computers
that is essentially an Apple on a card (it's called Trackstar or Trackdisk
or something like that).  I have looked through Computer Shopper and Byte
and I can't find a singles place that sells it.
     Two questions, is it still available (is the company still in business)
and secondly, who sells them?
                              thanks for any info,
                                      Jason

btw, no flames please, I have the greatest respect for all computer platforms.
     To each his own.

I was a dealer for this card and have two new ones available.  One
is for mono-EGA and one for VGA  These have been tested and are brand
new.  I'm selling them for $200 each, retail is $445.  I have two other
people interested, so act soon.  Email or 205-730-8614 (work).
If you (or anyone) would like more info, send email.
