I've got one of these Central Point Copy II PC "Option Board"s in the
basement.

Does anybody know if it would be possible for a computer equipped with an
Option Board to read and write disk images (even of raw GCR data, say) or
does the Option Board require two drives and simply pass incoming data
directly to the output drive without the computer seeing the data at all?
