I use the MicroSolutions MatchPoint card in a PC to read Apple II disks
quite well.

At present I have a problem - is is possible to convert Apple BASIC
programs to ASCII ON A PC? I have some that need to go into QBASIC for
re-writing, and I haven't got access to an Apple II for the purpose of
saving them as ASCII.

Many thanks.
