Vertex commissioned one guy to do the hardware, another to write the
sector read/write, and I slapped together a program.

Eventually, of course, Apple made them rename it to just "Turnover".

Depending on the exact version, it handles Apple-OS, Apple Pascal
(UCSD), ProDos, and Apple CP/M

A relatively low percentage of the boards work right, and it is VERY
touchy about which drives it will work with.  I recommend setting aside an
early Tandom TM100-2 to use with it, or do a serial port transfer instead.
