Accessing an old Doublespace HD
I ahve an old drive pulled from a (gasp!) 386, which ran Win 3.1, and was compressed with doublespace.

I was hoping to pull an academic paper I wrote over a decade ago off the hard drive, and thought it would be as easy as attaching the old drive to my XP Pro rig, and accessing it as another drive.

But when I do so, all I see on the drive are the doublespace files, which presumably are the drives contents compressed.

Is there an easy way to access this info from XP without playing around with my current OS?
