Yep - that's OK for the future, reminds me that one day I must build/buy/scrounge a middle aged Pentium and fit it with 5 1/4", 3.5", 3" floppy, MO and other kit to read OLD stuff. Plus adapters for laptop IDE drives before they vanish.

You might be better served by moving your collection to a more modern media. Remember that magnetic media (disks, tapes) have a limited shelf life. In particular, I've had a lot of problem with floppies written with one drive not being readable on another.
