   Model III Emulators

   I've been having a fairly non-stop headache getting my files off some Model   
   III disk images.   
      
   First, the functional details. I have several files that I either created in   
   basic a while back or created as text files in Excaliber's program Edit.   
   I've been trying to get these files off the images created by Readdisk, but   
   I have been unable to find an emulator that works well enough to run   
   programs on an XP system, has the capability to print files or copy data to   
   the clipboard, and reads things in a native enough format that a screen   
   reader can parse the output. (I lost my sight almost six years ago and have   
   been unable to locate it in the intervening time)   
      
   So, I either need to find an emulator that will print or copy to the   
   clipboard on a Windows XP system while letting my screen reader access the   
   info, or I need to find a kind soul that will  will help me out with getting   
   these files translated to txt documents. Edit is quite intuitive once you   
   use Clear+O to access the help menu, plus it's a plain text format so it   
   should probably open up in any text editor or word processor. I've tried   
   pulling data from the raw disk images, and I get some success with it, but   
   things are rather hashed. I spent five hours recently cleaning up one file   
   this way, and even then some of the text of the file was junked so that I   
   had to get a sighted person to look at the file in an emulator )that I can't   
   access and won't print) to get the missing text out.   
      
   Any assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated.
