Yes, it's possible, because all things are possible :-) But it's not easy. The PC disk controller is physcially incapable of reading the GCR encoding on an Apple ][ disk. So you _can't_ simply use software to read the disks. There are/were accessory controller boards for the PC that connected between the normal controller and the floppy drive. These controllers could then handle the Apple GCR data. There were also Apple ][ emulator cards for the PC (basically a complete Apple ][ on an ISA card) that did the same sort of thing. No idea where you'd find these (for sale -- people on this list have them but are hanging on to them) these days. You could always use an Apple ][ + its native disk controller and link it to a PC using either a serial (easier) or parallel link. -tony
