5.25 disks apple - amiga
« on: January 12, 2006, 08:57:22 PM »
Wondering what would be most cost effective way to get an amiga or PC to read 5.25 apple iie disks?  Friend of mine has his deceased wife's diary on apple iie 5.25 disks.

He still has apple iie working machine with disk drives, but would like to get info onto 3.5 disks.

I Own an a3000 with no 5.25 drive

Is there a way to get a winxp machine to read apple 5.25?

Someone suggested I get an apple iic plus.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

what model was the 5.25 drive?  I have been told that the amiga 1020 drive (working condition) is rare...not sure if this is true or not.  Anyhow, this would be the simplest way I think.  

Thank you guys for the suggestions.. :-)

Only application disk I have seen so far is his apple writer - word processor program.  He does have the serial port I believe, since he has an old imagewriter printer hooked to it.
