So, to be sure I understand, I can take my current emulator (presumably with a firmware update) and simply connect it instead of the Sony drive (to the personality card in the case of a 2/5)? No cable adapter required? If so, is the firmware currently available for download? Does that firmware prevent operation with a Mac, or is it universal?

Now, all we need is direct support for Unidisk 3.5 and Disk 3.5 on Apple 2 machines :-)
