I still have the floppy around, it's so faded, I couldn't even scan it. IBM

You might not even have a computer left that can read it. Windows NT based operating systems like Windows 2000 or Windows XP can't even recognize 8-sector floppy disks. I ran into that problem a couple of years ago when I archived all my old software onto a CD-ROM. I had to dig up a 486 running DOS just to read those disks.

Usually, I build my own machines, got enough spare parts, boards, and processors to make about 8 right now. Every machine I make for me has a 5 1/4 drive in it. I still have hundereds of old floppy disks.
