If you can please, Wesley, that would be appreciated. I have a couple of them myself, but I question their physical condition. I usually bring my Greaseweazle to the Workshops for just such a need, but my 3.5" drive in that kit has a bad read head on the top side.

I can bring a USB floppy drive to the workshop. As long as they have a USB thumb drive, I can copy their files. Worst case I can burn them a CD which also risks being extinct soon. :^)

Should be able to read that from any USB 3.5" external drive they make these days.
Yes, but as far as I know the museum doesn't have one.

Word files. He doesn’t remember exactly. It’s from 2002 on a System Max computer. He lives locally and will come on Sunday.
Can some bring a system where it can be read, and transferred to a cloud drive?
Thanks!
