Pc with a built in floppy

[Brian W.]

Anybody have one they're willing to part with? I am having a bear of a time
with a usb floppy.

What size? I'm pretty sure I have a regular 3.5 NIB somewhere.

Do you need the whole PC or just the floppy drive? I've got a couple
spares you can have.

What size floppy? I'm guessing 3.5 inch, but I've got a few 5 1/4
floating around also.

Or if you need to just get some data off the floppy onto something else
like a flash drive I can help you with that also.

Contact me off list is you want some help with this.

For years now,
For anything on a floppy, I get it written to a floppy image (similar
to an ISO).
Then, to use I would mount the image as a virtual floppy drive.

Of course, you have to get the data off the floppy in the first place,
but it also means that you ordinarily don't need special hardware to
use the floppy image thereafter.
