I generally eschew using my blog to ask for help for stuff, especially since I have pretty good resources at work, but this one has got me stymied: I've got a bunch of old 5.25 floppy disks from the old days that I'd like to convert and get rid of. For a while, our test lab had a machine that had a drive but I was too slow in taking advantage of it and now it's gone. I went down to RePC to look at picking up an old drive to stick in my machine temporarily, but looking at the connector on the back of the drive, I don't believe I have any controller that would drive one. I suppose I could go through the trouble of buying a ratty old computer just for that purpose and junking it, but, really, isn't there a better way?
So: anyone know of a reasonable way to get a small number of 5.25 disks converted in the Seattle area? You'd think Microsoft would have some place to do this as well, but I can't seem to find it. Any MSFT people who know of internal resource, let me know.
And I promise I'll get back to technical topics “real soon now”...
