This misses the point: the original poster needs a way of reading
Archimedes *discs* on a Mac.  The graphics file format wasn't mentioned.

btw, I don't know if what you need is available.  Graphic Converter can
understand virtually every graphics file format under the sun, but it
won't help you read discs.

If you can get an Archimedes next to a Mac you might try connecting them
with a null modem cable via the serial ports and transferring the data
using ZTerm, Kermit, or something like that.  Just a thought.
