I have some 5 1/4" disks, originally used on an Apple, but I'm not sure just which model, with some information which I want to transfer to floppies so I can access on my G3 PowerBook. I'm in Brisbane, Queensland - anyone out there who can help me with this oroffer some advice.Thanks John Haberecht moondragon@bigpond.com
Advice... Absolutely!You will need to make use of an Apple IIGS or a Mac LC with //e emulation. From there it is a matter of copying the content of the floppies from one disk to another. I'm not sure how well it would work with the LC but the GS works fine. FYI, if the appropriate drivers are installed the GS can read and write Mac floppies. Depending on the configuration of the 3.5 you may need to use 800K disks.
