Greetings,
Unlike 3.5 inch diskettes, where there are USB drives available, there
is no such thing for 5 1/4 ones.
I have some 5-1/4 diskettes which have data that I never bothered to
transfer to newer types of media. So, I'm looking for recommendations in
this regard:
- buy a 5-1/4 interal drive on eBay and try to make it work in Linux?
- find a service that will transfer the data at a cost?
I'm not 100 % sure, but I guess I still possess a 5 1/4" drive and the
cable for it - I need to look into my computer parts boxes -.
If you're living in germany I would give away for free (excluding
delivery costs)
You need to find a computer/motherboard which offers the connector for it !
I guess it's less used, but old and last used ~30 years ago.
Don't know it it's still running and - as said - if it's still here.
Other question are:
- are your disks still readable ?
- data on it that worth the effort ?
