8" floppy system needed to recover old game data

Subject: Re: 8" floppy system needed to recover old game data From: Andy Piercy <andy.piercy at gmail.com> Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 18:05:14 +0100 To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Kieron, I have an operational Z80 CP/M system that has 8" floppy drives which can read both DSDD, DDSD, SSDD, SSSD disks, and I can push the data out the serial port to a PC. Only problemo is I'm also located in the UK Fleet in Hampshire, but any good to you? Ta, Andy.
