I think the real problem may arise from this:
distinctive characters in the Penobscot font set
Quite a few folks created fonts for the ][ series computers; it was comparatively simple. Unless there is a corresponding Penobscot font for a modern OS it seems to me that this will need to be mapped and recreated before any translated output would be of any more use than, say, a letter in Times displayed in Wingdings.
My son has ][, ][e, GS, and a number of older Macs available. Given the nature of your project (pretty fascinating!) if you wish you can secure courier the disks here and we'd copy, then migrate, the data. I might be able to recreate the specialized font as well. No charge.
I'm sure others on the list would happily provide similar services.
Just in case the list breaks down again (this would not surprise me) you may email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]; be sure to put Penobscot in the subject line, though, or my spam filters might lose your email.
