[clug-talk] extracting data from floppy

[John Jardine]

Hi Ralph,

Well, ummm, I've got 3.5 Hi/Lo and 5.25 Hi/Lo, if her data is in some
really arcane format I've got a cat weasel as well.

I can also natively support a bunch of others with real hardware.

How many disks are we talk about here? 1, 10, 100?

Slightly off topic - I've got a case of new, old-stock, 1.2MB 5.25"
drives if she just wants one to put in her existing machine.

Cheers,
J.J.
