REQUEST: Xfer data from old ][e-format 5.25" disks to modern files.

Do you still have your Apple //e? If so, you could to connect it to your iMac via ADTPro:

http://adtpro.sourceforge.net

REQUEST: Can someone with a ][, preferably local-ish to me (outside Boston), attempt to read my disks and then turn them into disk images and then either email me the images or burn them to CD? I will pay for this service, of course.

If you don't get any free offers, see:

Bonus if you also have AppleWriter and can convert the AppleWriter files (most, if not all the files are AppleWriter files, as I recall) to text files and send me those. It might just be fun to use the emulator on my iMac, but since I don't have AppleWriter to load into it, I don't know that I can do much at all anyway. What I want is the data in a modern file format.

You can find AppleWriter images suitable for use in an emulator on Asimov:
