Xenocopy II from Xenosoft, 1454 6th Street, Berkeley CA 94710,
415-525-3113, is supposed to handle some 250 disk formats - single/double
sided, various numbers of sectors, etc.  I've never used it, but
I've seen it recommended by an author whose opinions I trust.  I
don't know if it supports the Adam format, but it should cost only a
phone call to find out.

I can't help with Pascal, because I'm not a Pascal user (all my Unix
machines speak C - therefore my PC6300 speaks C).  But I understand
that Pascal does offer a DOS interface that can do disk
manipulation.

If you write a good program for reading 'maverick' disks, how about
posting it?
