Re: DOS Program or Utility to read Apple II floppies
It can't be done without extra hardware. The Apple II didn't use a
disk controller chip, it used an odd circuit instead. So, machines
using the industry standard controller chips can't read Apple disks.
You'll need a COPYIIPC deluxe option board or some such. Check with
Central Point software, they used to sell them.
Another approach is to track down one of the add-on boards that was
essentially an Apple II on a PC card. It hooks to the 5.25" drive and
plugs into the bus. And you've got an Apple II in your PC.
