Apple ][ Disks Transferred - FREE of Charge !

[Mike <moose@rocknet.net.au>]

I had a great weekend last weekend !  Picked up my Apple ][c on Friday
night - Apple ][c, internal and external 5.25 inch floppies, cute green
screen monitor & stand, Apple thermal printer (colour ?), 13 disks (most
original Apple disks), a set of about 6 Apple ][c manuals, and an Apple
][e card for a MAC LC (shame I don't have a MAC) - all in "as new" mint
condition for $25 Aus - about $15 US.  What a bargain !

Got loads of disks (both sides of 40 disks) transferred - virtually no
errors and some are 20 years old now.  (I did have problems initially
though - it turns out Apple's printer serial cables are really serial
null modem cables - once I had that figured out, it was plain sailing,
and ADT transferred over perfectly).

At the moment, I am using ADT only - which is a superb program BTW - but
it can't do strangely formatted / copy-protected disks (.NIB image
format).  Does anybody know a good method  for me to  (with my Apple ][c
null modem and PC set-up) transfer copy-protected Apple ][ disks to my
PC ?

Anyway, if anybody wants disks transferred, email me for my postal
address, snail mail the disks to me, and I will transfer them and email
/ upload them - free of charge - this is my small contribution to the
preservation of the Apple ][ and it's software.  If anyone has old disks
- particularly if they are not on Asimov - get them transferred before
they suffer from bit rot and decay.

Also, if anyone has Zardax or Electric Pencil (both word-processors)
disks or images, please let me know.

Long live the ][ !  :)
