None of them do, so I guess my question should be whether it's
possible to hook up an IEC device to an IEEE bus without actually
ripping out the IEC interface and reprogram the drive ROMs. I want to
have my cake and eat it too :) Am I right in thinking that the actual
commands sent on the bus are if not identical at least pretty
similiar?
  Hmm, it shouldn't be too hard to get a 68HC05 to act as a IEC <->
IEEE router.
