Yes.

I'm young and I have nothing to live for... Does anyone know if ADTPro on an Apple II can dump Apple III disks? I'd assume so since I've heard Disk ][ drives can work unmodified on a III with an adapter cable, but you know what they say about assuming.
stepleton:
Wow, good luck!
We have from here that "ADTPro can even write disks for the Apple III", so I'm guessing it ought to be able to read them, too.

Liar! You've got plenty to live for, such as Lisas, UniPlus on Lisas, rare prototype cards, Apple ///'s. I mean, what else is there?

This the big lot of Apple II/III, Twiggy, and cassette tapes?

FYI, I bought the Apple II/III, Twiggy and Fluke tape lot. As noted in the original eBay auction via the desk name plate, it was from Ed Goodwin. Ed was an engineer at Apple and can be seen in these pictures from Digibarn here with the Lisa Development unit. http://www.digibarn.com/collections/systems/apple-lisa1/index.html
Among the pictures is an internal Profile drive. In another auction from the same seller, I acquired a prototype internal 5MB Profile controller and mounting plate. I think I may have been able to make a complete internal Profile with this controller and a normal Profile in parts but sadly, the package was lost a few weeks ago in transit and it is gone forever. A picture of the Profile controller is attached. Clearly, this never made it as a product as I have only ever seen one other.
Anyway, I have an Applesauce disk archiving unit so I will try to archive the 5.25" floppies depending on what they look like when they arrive. I also purchased some hard drives from the Ed Goodwin collection so I'll take a look at those soon and see if there is anything interesting. Hopefully there is something we can use. I can also try to use Blu on the Twiggy floppies to archive the two of them as well. I don't know what to do with the Fluke tapes.
