I just ordered a floppy drive reader. It cost about $16.00 from Amazon.com. My church had about 8 binders full of church clip art on floppy that none of our computers could read. I didn't want to throw them all away, so we got a reader and transferred them all to CD. Maybe that would work for your old floppies.

It really is the pits when you realize something important is stored on something that you can no longer read or have a drive for (my particular fun is the LS-120 drives. They looked like a 3 1/2 inch floppy but stored like 100 megabytes more than the HD floppy but they looked the same. Too bad that one never really took off. The CD came out about the same time.) Guess who has stuff stored on floppies that can no longer be read by anything?
