I was at a computer/parts shop yesterday, and I asked about a floppy disk reader. They sell a usb one.
I have a handful of floppies remaining. I am sure I haven't looked at the contents in 15 years or more. I feel like checking them out, just in case of something interesting.
The shop, by chance, didn't have any in stock.
I don't know if I'll get one. If I haven't needed whatever is on them in this long, then maybe I don't really need it. But I am still curious.
- Stratoscope 8y agoIf you're near Menlo Park, CA, you can borrow mine. I have one "just in case" but never use it. :-)
- checkyoursudo 8y agoThanks for the offer, but I appear to be about 35 hours away by car at the moment. :) Nearly moved to Foster City about a year ago though! Missed opportunity to borrow yours, I guess. Maybe another time. If you're anywhere near northern Sweden in the next few years then be sure to bring it with you, just in case.
- Stratoscope 8y agoI will do that! :-)
