Before this misunderstanding goes any further, the DOS 3.2 referred 
to in message >>> is NOT for the Apple II;  it is presumably
MS-DOS 3.2 for IBM PCs and compatibles.  At least, this is what the
new controller cards are for:  PC compatibility.  Mind you, with a
compatible dropping below $1K for a reasonable floppy based system,
I doubt there's much of a market for an emulator board at the prices
I've seen.  These are not Apple II emulator boards.
