| NEED: 5.25" floppy disk drive |

Hi all, Here at work we have some old 5.25 floppy disks with data that I would like to transfer over to cd. I don't have a 5.25 floppy drive and was hoping someone on here had one taking up space they wouldn't mind parting with. Can anyone help me out? |

??? How in the world do you still have viable data on a 5.25 floppy? Did they have another drive that just went on the fritz? Or was your place of business stuck in a time warp, and recently broke free?<--Easily the more obvious scenario. ;D |

They may be too antique to find at a PC recycling type of place but it would be worth looking. I can't imagine it being more than a few bucks and by the time it's shipped from one of us, unless it's local or given to you for free, you will probably save money with the recycling place. I can call my grandfather (perpetual pac-rat) and see if he has some. If he does I'd probably only charge shipping from Seattle but I wouldn't be able to guarantee a quick process. If I had time to pick it up this weekend I could send it from work on Monday, but that's if he has it and if I make it over to his place this weekend. Try local and if that fails and nobody else has a more promising offer PM me later this week. |

I may have one for you if all else fails. Just last week I found a big box full of old 5 & 1/2" backup discs about 10 years old. Rather than try to blank them before throwing em away I just cut em in 1/2 with scissors. Then I remembered back to the days when I paid about $2 / disc and suddenly felt a bit ill. |
