| 1402575 | 2015-06-13 10:03:00 | 5 1/4 floppy flexible discs? I remember those with my very first computer fro Dick Smiths in Aukland. PJNo, it wasn't quite that old. 3.5" floppies only. However if we are skiting about disk size :) I remember when the IBM system/370 mainframe came out and I was an operator, it had 8" floppies to carry the microcode. That would have been in about 1970. | Tony (4941) | ||

Sometimes they can be copied off the old PC they were installed on (if you still have it) Sometimes, the installer only copies/extracts it from the floppies. You might be able to extract/copy all the files you need off the floppies : worth a try. Try a google search, there may be a site with a ready to go version to download : abandonware sites etc |
