Re: Creating/copying disk images

[noone@nowhere.net]

Hello:
You can not read an Apple II 5.25" diskette in a PC drive.**  You will
need access to an Apple II computer of some type to read the disk.

The best way to get these files is have someone convert them for you and
send back the files in your preferred format.  

Realistically, it is very unlikely that you will want to invest the time
and money in the equipment and software** required to do a conversion
yourself.

Consider posting a new message soliciting the need of a conversion. 
Someone will answer or there is someone at this web reference who does
this.

** Technically it is possible to read an Apple II 5.25" diskette in a PC
drive if you have some pricey and rare hardware.  Go to this web
reference and see section "007- Can I read Apple II diskettes on my PC?"
