Apparently, there are *150* diskettes to be read...
It may be easier to send the computer to him...
....except that it weighs over 100 pounds.

Subject: WANTED: someone to transfer IBM 5110 BASIC programs to modern PC

Hello,
A gentleman from the East Coast contacted me to see if I
can extract old BASIC programs from his IBM-5110 8-inch
floppy disks.
I have a working IBM-5120 with internal floppy drives, but
the serial communications option is not installed in my
system.
I think the best I can do is LIST the programs and
photograph the screen.
Any other ideas?
Anyone else with a serial port who can do it?
Anyone with a spare communications card?
Thanks-
Steven Stengel
