Floppy Disks

Having a sort out in my 'office' I found some floppy disks with stuff saved onto them 'bc' - before computer - :D when all I had to use was a Canon Starwriter.

I was hoping to transfer the information on them to my computer but it will only read the titles.

Is there a computer expert out there who knows if I can do that? Is there some programme or software?

..........thanks!

 

You can pay for it to be done, as a last resort!

Also found this on the Web
You could try WinConv, a "text conversion tool" from Pierre Duhem. This can read more than 20 "incompatible" floppy disk formats on a PC, and the Starwriter is listed. There is a limited trial version of the program so you can see if it works with your disks (www.duhem.com/conven.php3). There are also a few companies that might attempt to do the job for you. Examples include eMag Solutions, which used to be called InterMedia (www.intermedia.uk.com/bfloppy.htm), and Pivar Computing Services in Illinois (www.pivar.com).

 

Brilliant Palustris - I will give it a go!
Thanks.
