There is an Applesauce at the museum that may be usable for this. I can’t remember if it has a 3.5” drive that can be connected to it.
The Applesauce works, but there is no Apple computer working to connect to it, so it is unusable until that happens. Tony Bogan will lend us a Mac SE/30 so that I can at least read the disk and see what is on it. Then I can go from there. Thanks!

OK. No one answered this. Does anyone have working Quadra and is local to InfoAge?
Someone is looking to recover files from a 3.5 floppy disk. It is unknown which software it was made with.
He needs to:
- Print out the files (each is a character study of no more than 10 print pages) - Open the files and allow him to use his cell phone to capture each page to re-type on his PC - Or provide some other way of capturing the file contents so he can re-create these data on a modern computer.
Let me know if you are local and can help.
Thanks!
