19 Robin,

21 Thank you.

23 I have a similar media problem with a pile of 5 1/4" floppies. A have a
24 drive that reads all the 5 1/4" formats and a motherboard to connect it
25 to ... until I replace this 12 year old system.
26
27 USB to Floppy interfaces won't do it as they are all made for the data
28 rate used in 3 1/2" floppies.
29
30 Maybe I'll just move this system along my desk and put it under my
31 APPLE ][ :)
