I have some old 5 1/4 floppy discs that I need to read as soon as possible.
Is there anyone out there who has an old computer that will read these discs -- preferably in the Baltimore (where I live), Washington, Philadelphia, Wilmington area? Alternatively, I could ship the discs to you, and you could email me the files. Willing to pay you for your time.
(I do have an old 5 1/4 floppy drive. My PC is a Dell Dimension 4600. Someone told me that if I change the bios on the computer, the 5 1/4 floppy drive would work (I tried it without changing the bios and it did not work). But I have not been able to change the bios (someone on the Dell Forum told me that could not be done. I am not at all sophisticated about this kind of thing.))
Thanks for your help.
