This allows you to use the IBM's drives and programs. Thus you don't really have to buy the 3" expensive drive unless you need a battery operated one. The same card lets you use the little battery powered thinkjet printer with the IBM, or even network a bunch of IBM's together. The transfer rate is quite good. Sort of a poor man's Ethernet. The cost? $100.
