Hi,
I am currently in the market for a flash card and floppy disk reader.
Yes, floppy disks, the 3.5" ones.
The reason I would like a reader for floppy disks as I have in excess of
100 disks that contain Windows drivers that I have needed over the
years. Some of these have not been replaced by newer versions as the
hardware itself didn't ever fail and so the old adage of "If it ain't
broke, Don't fix it" probably came to the developers mind. I will
probably not ever need them again, but they might come in handy for a
friend/business associate.
With this utility I will be able to transfer the driver files onto a USB
flashdisk and also keep another copy in my ~/, which gets backed up each
day to an external USB HDD.
Professional admin advice here:
First, make several CD-R copies of this collection.
They can't be accidentally over-written like USB memory sticks.
After you have a half dozen CD-R copies, THEN you can worry
about USB memory sticks.
