Atari 8-bit machines have SIO2PC.  There is less motivation to develop a 
new scheme for Apple II, since Appletalk client capability is built in to 
the IIGS and available for older models through a peripheral card.

But, for machines like the //c it would be great to have DW support.  That 
machine has no bus slots or expansion connector.
