From the October BYTE, What's New, page 42:

Card, Software Let PCs Read Apple Disks
The Matchpoint-PC package, which includes a card and software, lets IBM PC
users read from and write to Apple DOS, ProDOS, SOS, and CP/M disks.  The
half-size card fits in a PC expansion slot and includes connectors and cable
to hook it to the floppy disk drives.
Besides Matchpoint software, the package comes with UniForm-PC (version 2),
which makes the computer read CP/M disks as if they were PC-DOS disks.  Used
with the Matchpoint board, it also lets you use Apple Softcard and North Star
CP/M disks on a PC.
Matchpoint-PC retails for $195.  Contact Micro Solutions Inc., 125 South Fourth
St., DeKalb, IL 60115, (815) 756-3411.
