[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1827084, member: 175845"] As already mentioned, a USB floppy Drive is not expensive at all. But overcoming the particular formatting the floppy disk used maybe something else again as to whether the data can actually be accessed. You may be better off if you can contact someone at a the local [I][B]PC Big Blue And Cousins Club[/B][/I] (if they still exist) who [I][U]may[/U][/I] just still have the equipment you could use, or at least rescue the data you want to use if you could use it. Even old Mac models with floppy Drives could normally access Windows, DOS, PROdos etc. and other formats. I have no idea what sort of emulation would be needed or if it would even be available for Mac use or if it would even work. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
