I have a box of 5�" floppies that were used in a IIe system back in the
late 80's / early 90's. My boyfriend's mom passed away in 1989 and left
a number of disks behind. The contents of the disks are a mystery, but
they would mostly be high school papers, etc. (His mom was an English
teacher.)
Is there any easy way to get the contents of the disks? I was looking
through them briefly and one of them says, "Appleworks", on it. Not
sure if it's the software or the documents. I would love to be able to
read the contents and maybe convert them to disk images that can be used
in Windows, maybe even just print out what documents there are.
What options are out there?
