Re: Way to read old Apple II 5.25" floppies
I have a copy2PC option board, which is supposed to be programmible to
emulate an apple II disk controller. Unfortunately it's no longer
supported and I haven't been able to find programming instructions for
it so far. I would love to be able to read disks into image files.
Would anyone happen to know where I could find the info? Symantec and
Central Point were a little less than useless in this endeavor.
Stuff below which prompted me to post this here:

: In my neck of the woods (near St. Louis, Missouri) a used Apple II, with
: 5.25 drive and monitor can be had for about $100. That's another avenue
: you might consider.
