<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the Applied Engineering PC Transporter. It allows you to run MS-DOS applications on your Apple IIgs! It can also be used as a ~800K RAM disk. Click the following image for a closer view:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This auction includes all the items pictured above, including the following:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>PC&nbsp;Transporter card, includes original box and manual</li><li>II&nbsp;GS Installation kit, includes original box and the cards an cables need to connect the PC Transporter to your Apple II GS</li><li>A 2 Bay &#8220;Transdrive&#8221; Floppy Drive for MS-DOS disks and its leaflet manual (with instructions on setting jumpers, etc.)</li><li>Original PC&nbsp;Transporter System disks (both the 3.5&#8243; &amp;&nbsp;5.25&#8243; versions)</li><li>An original IBM&nbsp;MS-DOS 2.0 disk and accompaning system tools disk, both are 5.25&#8243; floppies.</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note: The MS-DOS drive spins quietly the entire time that it recognizes that there is a disk inside. This has no apparent effect on its operation, and I assume this is the correct behavior for the drive. But it&#8217;s been more than a decade since I&nbsp;used this with any regularity, so I don&#8217;t know for sure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the time of this posting, this has been completely tested and is working. Here is a video demonstration of the actual item I am selling that I recorded just before removing the parts from my GS and packing them up for this auction (or watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFNbRQo8drA">annotated version with dorky stock music</a> on YouTube):</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though the card is leaving here in working form, I can make no guarantees as to if it will work in your machine. Therefore, I am selling this item AS IS. Please buy shipping insurance if you have any concerns. I will ship to the US only. The entire package is going to weigh somewhere between 8-10 lbs. Contact me if you have any questions. Here the link to the eBay Auction&#8230; bid early&#8230; bid often!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">UPDATE: The package eventually sold for around $155! Woo hoo!</p>
