Re: 800k disks possible at all?

This makes good sense. Apple used a similar scheme to cram over 800K on
the 5 1/4 floppies for the original Lisa Office System computers (in
1983).
Does anyone know of a way to read or create disk images from old 5 1/4
ProDOS disks on a PC? I want to convert my old //c Appleworks stuff over &
use it on Clarisworks. I'm also going to try an Apple IIe on Mac emulator
under Executor (on OS/2 virtual DOS) just for fun!
