Thats great Jim!
I think Ted's solution is cool, if you have Norton Floppier this could be an alternative solution.
By the way guys,  i have found a copy of Alchemy 3.0 that is a copy of the original floppy master, made with Norton Floppier,
This copy works perfectly and never crashes once installed. It will authorize your harddrive.
I will upload Norton Floppier and this version of Alchemy today.
I also have a version of Turbosynth that is compatible with emax and EII using rs422 transfer, plus i have the copy of the sound libraries on 3 floppies.
It's Turbosynth V2.0, will upload this today as well.

Also these may well have been copy protected, as many Mac software disks were in those days, so I can't promise they would install even if they were readable.

Anyone know how feasible this is, or if it's even worth doing?  Any interest in these apps beyond the OP?

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
