Yes it is! I have been hauling around 12 floppies from my old Apple
II days (1984-1986). In less than an hour with ADTPro (is there a non-
Pro version? :-) I was able to image all 24 sides. Now I can run my
old high school grades program, plot functions, and play some really
bad BASIC games on my iPad with ActiveGS and my old code.
I still need to image all my Mac floppies from my Mac-512K days
(late-'80s).
