The Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara University (http://law.scu.edu/ncip/) works to get wrongfully convicted innocent people freed from jail. Such convictions are infrequent, but tragic when they happen. In a case they are working on they just received permission to access reports of interviews done in 1986 which were recorded on 5 1/4" floppies. The problem is that the disks are in storage at the Fresno Department of Justice, and they will be given only one day to examine them there: this Tuesday, or possibly Wednesday. We suspect the disks -- about a dozen -- were written by an IBM PC. But all we know for sure, because we have a photocopy of one label, is that they are DS/DD soft sectored. They are looking for someone reliable who can bring a computer (or more than one?) to Fresno on short notice to read the disks and take copies of the files. Can anyone help? This is a 20-year-old wrongful conviction case and the stakes are very high. If you can help, please email me (len at shustek.com) or call me at home (650-851-3176). Thanks. -- Len Shustek
