With diskettes-- have not tried disk images. There's a good collection of
Infocom extraction, etc. utilities in the GSWV archive (
http://www.grin.net/~cturley/a2zine/gswv/Sel/index.html) in the Utilities folder.
Actually, if you just need the Infocom story files, you could download the
Lost Treasures of Infocom stuff from TikTok ( http://abandonwarering.com/tiktok/
click on "Adventures").
