Hi,

I can't find any more 5.25" disks for sell, so I can't backup my Apple ][
disks anymore. So, I would like to know if anybody knows a way to adapt a
regular 1.44Mb 3.5" PC drive on a Apple ][ to work exactly like a Apple ][
5.25" drive.

I don't mind to record only 140K on each 1.44 disk, all I want is to keep my
software collection alive and running on my Apple, not on an emulator. And
it's important that the drive works in DOS, ProDOS and with all protected
games. Please help!

Thanks!
