After taking apart my desktop Windows 98 PC, disconnecting and reconnecting cables a billion times, and reboot after reboot, I still can not get the 5.25" floppy drive to work correctly!!! It lights up, the deiskettes spin, but that's about it. I suspect that my PC can't read the data because the diskettes originated in the Reagan years. Seriously, I tried using a DOS terminal thingie, and I still could not even read a directory of files on any of several 5.25" diskettes that I tried. This bites.
I am seeking somebody in southeastern Michigan that can loan me a PC with BOTH a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive, so that I can at least get the data on to some format that can be read by my laptop or my desktop (Once I put it back together and reconnect stuff). Thanks again.
