You could always send an email to Robert Winters to see if there is a new
version that works with modern equipment. Details can be found here

I'm a little surprised it is unreadable. What is the problem? Is the disc just
"worn out" or is it some strange format that isn't recognised by modern
equipment?

If the later, what did you use to play it in the past? That might give a clue
as to what will read it now.
