This sounds like something I recently did- I was asked to convert files made in Bank Street Writer and stored on 5.25" floppies to text files on CD.

This required (in no particular order) the Internet to find BSW, my ][gs, several 400K/800K floppy disks, my LCIII with its Apple ][ PDS card, a USB external floppy drive and my Powerbook.

In hindsight the ][gs was a wasted step, but it was fun to pull it out and play for a while anyway :-)
