Failing all else I might try to find an old external - or even internal - 5
1/4 on eBay.  Maybe a computer repair shop would have one and could read the
disk for you?  I assume this is a one-shot deal.

Hello All,

Any idea how I can read an old 51/4 inch floppy disk ?

I can find a specialist company if necessary but it would be nice to be able
to do it myself
