Ken,

Thanks for your response. So if I get an external 1.4meg floppy drive and a newer machine, it will be able to read the data off the 800k floppy? Will I
have a problem with the OS or are they all backward compatible?

External USB drives will, AFAIK, NOT read 800Kb floppies. With a beige G3, you could use AppleTalk over the serial ports, or the external SCSI drive that has been mentioned.
