Picked up a floppy drive

Post by motsdrama »

recently i found myself obtaining a huge stack of floppy disks, and i realized i had no way to read them with my computer. so i bought a floppy drive! unfortunately, i don't think my current version of Windows is capable of running half the stuff on these, but it was still a fun time exploring them, and now i finally have a floppy drive at least! :D

Oh no way that's cool! I bet that'd be good for grabbing stuff off of old disks at least lol, maybe some old software or a couple games. I have a stack of writable ones at home just in case I get another computer that use them, but I haven't had one of those in a hot minute.

Any plans for what you're gonna do with it?
