Apricot disks

[Dare2]

Anyone know of some software that will read a 5.25" disk (either double or single sided) in Apricot format and allow retrieval of files?

Edit: I have tried APRIDISK without success - I get full disk images and haven't worked out how to extrack the files.

See if these pages help

No problems. It's interesting to see how useful Google is to those of us who were involved in really old computer platforms.

Heck, I still have copies of CP/M 2.2 on my hard disk!!! Lost CP/M+ when my Amstrad went though (I may cry).

CP/M! lol.

One day you and I need to get our walking frames into a coffee house and have a yarn.

CP/M and MP/M where pretty good, IBM's original choice too if the stories are to be believed. HangGliding -v- being the alternative Bill Gates. Decisions, decisions.

You probably have these links, but just in case they are of interest:

Heck, get into the 21'th century. I'm wearing the latest handy dandy geriatric, strap on exoskeleton by Acme Corporation.
