I have just sent the message to the colleague who got my Apple IIc, hoping that he hasn't converted it to a piece of modern art! Vintage art, maybe? ;-) I wonder if there aren’t institutions that specialise in doing this kind of thing professionally. Like in music, if you have wax-cylinders or stuff, you can go to something like a national sound archive and get a pro transfer of them. They might do it for free for a copy of the music if it’s interesting stuff. With a floppy I guess you get one shot if you do it yourself, hard to estimate the risk. Not sure if there are any “heritage” archives that do transfers, but there are professional services that do them. If one is realistic about potential risks, I assume they’d be safer than trying it oneself. They’re relatively affordable, at least cheaper than a drive one might only use once… https://retrofloppy.com/ <https://retrofloppy.com/> Best .r. |
