i vaguely remember hearing about some old PC utility to read 5 1/4 Apple
disks, but you'd have to ask some old PC fellas in a PC newsgroup about
that.
Any Macintosh with a 3 1/2 drive is supposed to be able to read an Apple
][ Prodos 3 1/2 disk; Can you could transfer them to 3 1/2 floppies??
Or, is there a way to e-mail the files to yourself??
You should scold them harshly for not converting to the newer formats a
long time ago :O/
