Krul reminded me of MacDrive by Mediafour. Its not a forensic product, but
it does allow you to read Apple media on a PC. They may have a working demo
you can use. Also, as I recall other software programs may include that
program as a free tool.

There's a product call "MacOpener" which allows you to read Apple
Macintosh-formatted disks on your PC> I've used it in the past and it's
extremely useful (even allows you to read Mac-formatted Zips, Syqyests,
Jaz,
CDROMS, you name it).

I am trying to recover data from some 5.25 inch disks.
They came off an older Apple system. (Apple 2?).
I seem to recall that Apple played some funny games with the floppies -
rather than a constant angular velocity and 18 blocks on each track inside
to outside, they had a drive motor that could change speeds, so they ran
constant *linear* velocity, got 18 blocks/track on the innermost tracks,
and
a bit higher on the middle tracks, and something like 30 blocks/track on
the
outermost tracks.
If this is the case, you'll need hardware/software that's capable of doing
the Apple speed tricks....
