There used to be DOS programs around that would read some apple disks,
however your best bet would be to find an old Apple machine and replace the
hardware with it.  Nowadays people are too embarassed even to drag the things
out of their garages to the local swap meets, but if you go to a few of the flea
markets you might find someone who has one in their attic.
