Well if there's to be an OS jihad started, the Mac needs to be included.
Although Apple is now trying to get everyone migrated over to OS-X until now
the backward compatability of Mac files was quite good. While the individual
programs may have faded, the Mac OS has been kept backward compatable pretty
well. Even now, the OS-X supports a 'classic' adaptation to run the
older-generation programs. Still, finding ways to read an old Apple-DOS
Apple II disk would be difficult now.
As with anything digital, keeping up means converting prior generations as
the 'next new thing' comes along...

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
I think you are right that it is a hardware issue. There are
companies that specialize in writing software conversion programs.
For instance Graphic Converter will handle most any image format ever
devised. Getting the file to a current drive is the problem.
