I agree completely, that IFF he can get one of his Apples working (and he
does seem to have the expertise to do so), that serial port transfer makes
sense, and a DiscFerret or equivalent is not a practical way to go.
Although a flux transition device can be fun for some other stuff, such as
hard sectored disks, Victor/Sirius, and other non-MFM oddball stuff.
