[comp.sys.apple2] Help converting files from dead II to IBM...

hodas@saul.cis.upenn.edu (Josh Hodas) (11/19/90)

I am posting looking for help for my forelorn uncle.  His II+ has died
once again, and he just can't see investing the several hundred dollars
it would likely cost fro a new motherboard, when this would just get
him a short reprieve anyway.

He would like, however, to retrieve his years worth of Easywriter Professional
based correspondence.

DOes anyone out there have the equipment/knowledge necessary to get these
file off his floppies (5 1/4" DOS 3.3) over to MS-DOS disks (any size/density
ok).  And, once they are readable, what are the chances of converting
them to a form that ANY PC word-processor will understand?


Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated, and rewarded ($).


Please reply directly to my e-mail address (hodas@saul.cis.upenn.edu), since
I am a Grad student with barely enough time to keep track of the newsgroups
that I must already read.



Thanks in advance for ANY help you could provide.
