I have a ca. 1981 ATT PC which still runs Wordstar very nicely. Am trying to figure out how on EARTH to get some of the data off the hard drive and onto my regular computer.

You can hook up a modem or even just a serial link and transfer files.

Or, just take the disk drive out, put it in your "regular computer" and copy the files to your "regular" hard disk.

If it's a hard drive, that probably won't work. Hard drives now are IDE, a drive from 1981 is probably some obscure technology like RLL (there were 3 or 4 as I recall).

If it's a floppy in the ATT, there still could be a problem. The connectors back in the day were sometimes 'card edge' style, like the connector edge of a PCI card.
