Yes, you can use the LIF Utiles (released to public domain and posted on
the net) to read the disks and translate the files into a MS-DOS fromat. Or
MS-DOS's DiskCopy may be able to make a straight copy of the disk even
though it's not in a MS-DOS format. If DiskCopy doesn't work then TeleDisk
certainly should.
