So, I did some searching online and some asking. Some people suggested that Linux has device drivers for old 5.25 floppies (and you can get them for Windows, too, if you hunt around), but I also heard that Apple drives "worked differently" than their PC equivalents.
My only other thought was this: the Apple IIgs (I believe) could read both 5.25" and 3.5" floppies. If (somehow) I found a working IIgs with both types of drives, I might be able to bring it up to at least a 3.5 disk. And from there, perhaps I could make the next jump to a Mac Classic, and so on up the chain.
I really don't think I'll jump through all those hoops-- but who knows? Maybe it might be fun. Only problem is, is it even possible?
