In 1989 I was insightful enough to make backups of the source code to the major pieces of software I had developed by then. The only problem is I made them on 5 1/4” floppies, and now I no longer own a drive that reads those. Do any of you have access to such a drive so I could get it out? We are talking 18 floppies of less than 360 kB each, so a maximum of 6 MB.

one on my Debian box at home. What's the time frame? I'm currently moving the network and home office, so it's not on the net right now but could be in a few days probably.

That's great! There is no rush. They have been sitting there for 16 years.

I have one, but it's an Apple ][ 5.25" drive - I don't think the IWM chip (integrated Woz Machine) can handle dos format disks ;)
