Ok I got a bunch of old Commdore Infocom games and some apple II games left
over from when I had a C128 and a Apple2 Well I want to know If I can convert
them to IBM format to play on my new computer? I saw a file on the ftp site
that converts something called Apple Disk Image files to MS-Dos files.
Is this going to be easy I mean is there a emulator that does this easly
or Is it going to be cheaper and easyer just to buy them again.
My best advice is to check out comp.emulators.cbm and
comp.emulators.apple2.
Try the FAQs first, and if they cannot answer questions about how to
make disk images, ask in the groups. It is possible, the question,
like you say, is if it is worth the effort.
Never having attempted this myself, I should think that you will
need at least a C64 compatible drive, a cable and some Freeware
program to get the CBM disks. Probably something similar for Apple2.
