Old Apple Floppy Question!
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 10:39 am
Hey everyone,
I've been working to transfer about 500 Mac-formatted floppy disks to my PC in an effort to archive about 20 year's worth of my college's newspaper backup. I've passed the 400 mark using MacDrive on Windows 7, but there seem to be a stack of around 100 that will not seem to work. Some of the floppies are almost 20 years old, but I'm wondering if the format for the older disks are not one that MacDrive can read.
Does anyone have suggestions for getting the information off the disks?
Thanks in advance!
