I have tried to access an old, late '88 '89 Sportscard inventory program I had used in the past to manage sports cards I and my sons have collected back then. I last ran it in 1993. Since then I have owned Windows machines but switched to MAC a dozen years ago. I have tried to read the disks, even one that has Lotus files on it via a USB 3 1/2 floppy drive. No luck. I also won a Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows XP. No luck in being able to even see what is on the floppies. Info I saw online noted the USB drive may not work and would be better to find a machine with a floppy drive. I have not pursued that avenue yet.
I have a program floppy, a floppy with data (as I remember the content) a floppy with Lotus files, and another with some zip files, etc. I know the contents only due to the fact I have written info on the labels.
For your edification, the program is LINEUP, Baseball Card Inventory &Value System, PROGRAM DISK, IBM VERSION 3.0. 1988 & 1989 Copyright.
Today, I called a local computer service company and was advised that the USB floppy should do the trick BUT I need an IBM emulator for any chance of success.
Going online I became confused not knowing exactly where to head!
FYI I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) running Mojave 10.14.6.
So folks, any help you can provide to lead me to the best emulator that I can download would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance to all who view this.
