Hello

apologies for posting in this perhaps the wrong part of this forum... but, here goes...

I have a large amount of old 3.5inch 800k Mac floppys which i need to get some information off ! does anybody have any hints they could share.

Unfortunately i need an older mac or external drive to get the data from - i have tried a USB floppy drive - but it wont read these older Mac-specific disks.

i understand this isnt going to be easy - but if anyone has an older mac they could hire/lend then i could network theirs to mine or perhaps this person has a CD burner hooked into their older mac which would be easiest for everyone

I live in Wellington and have a new Mac Pro - so i appreciate i prob. cant just hook that old external drive into my computer but any help at this stage would be appreciated.

thanks spence (spence@spencerlevine.co.nz)
