I bought one of these about 8 years ago when Radio Shack put them on
"Where-Is-As-Is". The TrackStar works relatively well, but it is much
more usable with a composite monitor and a real Apple floppy drive than it
is with PC components. I used a monitor with both digital RGBI/CGA and
composite inputs and just switched the monitor input when changing between
Apple II and IBM PC modes.

Trackstar software and information is available from the classiccmp FTP
site - haliotis.bothell.washington.edu . I have the original disks
somewhere, but it will take some digging to find them.
