No, there is no emulator I can use except for a very limited, text
only II+ emulator which does not work with most disks anyway.  I might
be wording things wrong, but can these disks be converted to XGS
images?  The program I mentioned earlier which copies files from disk
images claims to work with those images (2mg, maybe?) but I have no
idea, short of trying to fight with the emulator which is useless to
me, how that could be done.  Besides, because of the odd format, could
files be read anyway?  Finally, although not my preference, any way to
copy to ProDOS images?  I have very limited ProDOS support with my
emulator, but things should work since they are just Applesoft files.
