    I have 20 or so 5&1/4 floppys created on a Radio Shack Color computer from 1985. They were created using VIP Writer from the Softlaw Corp. I would like to find someone that could convert these files to a file system that Windows could read and write them to a cd or dvd.

    Thanks for your consideration

    Good luck finding someone who has a B drive capable of reading 5 1/4" floppies! They disappeared about 20 - 25 years ago.

    I did stumble across this site

    Perhaps you can email Jason Scott who uploaded the magazines to see if he knows anyone with a 5 1/4" floppy drive.

    Actually, I still have an external one, sans it's power supply.
