Greetings.  

I have some data from a couple of years back that was stored on Apple II 
5.25 inch disks, using the Apple II Pascal editor and filing
system, if I remember correctly.  

I now work on Mac - 3.5 inch drives, no 5.25 anywhere in sight. In fact
no Apple IIs anywhere in sight. I'd love to somehow get this data over
onto a 3.5 so I could play with it, but plainly  without the correct 
hardware this is difficult.

Anybody got any ideas ?  I can't justify the cost of buying a 5.25 inch
drive just for this - we're talking less than half a dozen disks
here.  I tryed talking to the local Mac-droids (i.e. salespeople
at the local dealers) and they were about as useless as you can get -
they basically pretend the Apple II doesn't exist anymore.

Are  there any commercial services that will do this for a reasonable fee?
Is there anybody out there with experience and the capability to do this
that would like to earn a couple of bucks (not too much - I'm a poor
grad student :))

P.S. Please reply via E-MAIL. No sense in cluttering up 2 newsgroups.
