Incidentally, I came acorss a hald-length 8-bit ISA

with a few TTL ICs and a couple of PALs (I think, maybe ROM,s I didn't

Drive' i nteh silkscreen. From what I can tell, this is a board to link
an external Mac dirve to a PC, I guess the circuitry is a non-integrated
Woz machine. I ahve no idea waht software wet with it, though.
There was such a half-length ISA PCB from Micro Solutions called the
"Match Point PC". It was interposed in the normal floppy cable and,
using software provided, enabled one to read and write Apple II floppies
and even read and write the floppies generated by the Microsoft (?) Z80
card for the Apple.
I have one such card. A few PALs and some SSI TTL.
I also have an 8" floppy generated for an Apple II setup--the recording
is plain IBM 3740-style FM, but the data is in the form of RWTS codes
within each sector. Again, very strange.
