- If all you want to do is get software off of one 8-inch disk, and that's it,
- why not look in the back of either PC magazine or the Computer Shopper. I've
- seen many ads in their classified section for media conversion. Maybe you
- could get one of these companies to do it for you. They may charge a bit much,
- but it will probably cost you less, in time and effort as well as money, than
- if you went out and bought a controller card and a drive (assuming you don't
- have them already.
-
- Just my $0.02, which probably isn't worth that much after inflation.
