Trapper Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone around Birmingham have a working 5 1/4" floppy drive lying around. External or internal, possible from an old PC or BBC B that you still have a cupboard? I've found some really old documents on a floppy that might contain some information about our SIMS subscription before we moved to CMIS with the LEA. Sadly I sold my old dual external BBC drive years ago (the one with the kid on fire warning sticker on!)
Alis_Klar Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 are the connections on a BBC and PC floppy drive compatible. What file and disk format were the files in?
Gibbo Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Even if not there are programs to read and write DOS formatted discs on the Beeb.
difinity Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I have this, which I believe is for my BBC I'm in Leicester. You're welcome to borrow it.
