Heya,

the version I gave you IS the IIe version - it's just on one 3.5"
disk. If you have a 3.5" drive for a IIe, it should work fine from
that. It's possible you could also run it from a hard drive or compact
flash drive. Do you only have 5.25" disk drives available?

Ok, maybe I'm missing something here.  What you gave me was a .2mg
file.  I had to use a IIgs emulator to run this.  AppleWin wouldn't
run it, as it only takes .dsks, etc.  I'm sure this is all standard
stuff for you guys, but I'm still learning how it goes :).  The
machines we had way back in school only took 5.25" disks, and the
monitors were green, if that helps.  (I didn't even see a 3.5" disk
till at least two years later, when I had left).

Which leaves me with two questions- 1, which emulator can simulate the
IIe, not the gs, with these .2mg files, and 2, the original question-
was there an old 140k, 5.25" version of this program that who have
bridged the two?

Thanks!

Good questions that I can't answer unfortunately - I've never used AppleWin and probably never will until I start running Windows.

It's possible you could convert the 2image file to a .po file (ProDOS Disk Order) in order to use with 8-bit only emulators.

Can anyone else provide answers to running 3.5" disk images on 8-bit exclusive emulators on Windows?
