I often get requests from mac owners who have new macs with no floppy drives or who've switched to PC and years later have found a box full of old mac floppies and want to know what's on themread old mac floppies

"Gemulator Explorer is a free utility that allows a Windows computer to read Atari ST and Apple Macintosh formatted disks. Gemulator Explorer can read Macintosh formatted high density (1.44M) floppy disks as well as other Macintosh formatted removable media such as ZIP, Syquest, Jaz, and CD-ROMs. Gemulator Explorer can also read externally connected SCSI hard disks formatted in either Macintosh HFS or Atari ST GEMDOS format, and 720K, 800K, and 1.44M Atari ST/TT formatted floppy disks.

Gemulator Explorer also doubles as a disk imaging and backup tool, as it can create disk images from physical disks, and write a disk image back to a disk. Disk images can then be used by emulators such as SoftMac, Gemulator, and Fusion PC.

Individual files can be extracted from the the Atari or Macintosh disks and saved as regular MS-DOS files on the PC. Files are displayed as icons in a familiar Explorer-like window and can be extracted by simply clicking and dragging the file icons from the Mac or Atari disk to a PC disk directory in the Windows Explorer.

For example, you can use Gemulator Explorer to view a Macintosh formatted CD-ROM on Windows 95.. then you can drag and drop the files you need."




yes it's freeware so put your credit cards back

the disk image tool is a nice feature, being able to copy all the old floppies as-is to images and store them on a hard drive/DVD/whatever for later reference
