I believe that the 5.25 diskettes used in
Apple II systems are physically different from
what was used in XT/AT-style PC systems.
(Hard/soft sectored, or similar physical
difference that would make the two
incompatible.)
Usenet postings seem to indicate that there
are hardware-based tools available that
can read these disks; also, an older Mac
with both 5.25" and 3.5" drives might
be useful.

Hi all,
I would appreciate any help in trying to resolve a
problem I am having.
I am trying to recover data from some 5.25 inch disks.
They came off an older Apple system. (Apple 2?).
I have tried using dd, Ghost, Encase, FTK, Winhex and
Norton Utilites to view/image these diskettes without
any success.
It is not clear to me if there is still valid data on
these disks. My experience has shown me that data on
a 5.25 inch can get corrupted over time. Does anyone
know if the tools above could successfully read these
disks? I am using a 1.2 Mb drive. If these tools
can't do the job, does anyone know of a definitive way
to get at this data using an x86 or Sun system?
Thanks all,
Sety
