We have been fairly happy with the Flagstaff Engineering products for
doing this.  Earlier versions of their software were fairly buggy but
things seem to have stablized in the last year or so.  They used to
offer DisplayWriter to ASCII but no longer, they now offer
DisplayWriter to DisplayWrite III (PC) RFT format, preserving
formatting information as well as the text itself.  DW III has an
ASCII conversion facility so taking it to ASCII just takes a few more
steps.

The Flagstaff stuff consists of a replacement floppy disk controller
for the PC and an attached 8" (or dual 8") drives, an installable
device driver and several conversion programs, menu driven, easy to
use, if the all caps displays don't drive you out of your gourd.

Fairly expensive when we bought it (three years ago), I don't know
what they are asking now, I would guess about $2K for everything.
They advertise in most of the PC magazines, phone number is
602-779-3341.

I have no financial interest in the above mentioned products except as
a customer.
