I guess it is possible to transfer the disks from a real Apple II to your PC
thru a serial connection.
Or maybe some utility can be used to read Apple 5" disks on a PC 5" drive.
For a majority of people I think they will just go out and find the files on the
net. But naturally that raises Copyright issues.
Reminder: old software does not become public domain automatically, and
Copyrights remains on old software.
