You need the "DELUXE" Option Board.
Or consider the Catweasel as an alternative.
Are you ready and willing to write your own software for the task?

The Trackstar 128 and the Quadlink were entire Apple][ clones on a
PC ISA card. Do they have software for file transfer?
(NOTE: on a sample size of ~50, we had >75% DOA rate on the Quadlink.
We received several that had connectors misinstalled, that could not have
ever been tested. We had a comparable DOA rate on the replacement units,
indicating that they never did ANY QA.)

The cheapest and most versatile device for the task is a used Apple.
