5.25" Floppies - Seen a USB solution?

[pprior]

Yes, I was very interested in what exactly of interest could possibly be on old 5.25" floppy disks myself.

I'm an obsessive data horder and even I long ago tossed my 3.5" and zip disks into the shredder w/o a care in the world what was on them.

It may be too little too late......

But I figured its about time this thread got resolved. There is a way to get a 5.25 floppy drive on a computer. FC5025 5.25″ Floppy to USB. It's a nice hack. And it is a way to copy the disk. Otherwise you'll be stuck watching old anti-piracy videos teling you "Don't copy that floppy!" Sorry, I had to make that reference. END OF THE INTERNET! 😛 Hope that helped.

im in that closet/room as we speak.

LoL

and not a working 5.25" and machine to match.

my next trick is to take this 5.25" drive from a busted 286, a move it to a celeron Windows 85 machine. hopefully I can switch the CDR with the 5.25" drive.

wow this thread is old but I had to point out that that was like such a true typo.
Totally felt like '85.
