I think it's OK -- interesting to see that I'm not the only person in the world who would want such a thing. I have a 5 1/2" drive on one of my old computers and I used it recently to copy old data off of some disks that I then threw away. My new way is to back things up by copying them to multiple computers in different buildings. HDD space is pretty cheap now. But here's my problem -- the 5 1/2" floppy drive I have seems to be the very old low-density (360KB) type, but I have a bunch of disks that are of the high-density (was it 1.2MB?) type that I want to copy. So are these high-density floppy drives or low-density floppy drives? Does anyone have a high-density 5 1/2" floppy drive he can part with? Mike
