Anyone have a 5 1/4 around?
What do you mean, a?
You mean drives? I still have two working computers with 5-1/4 drives in them. Or do you mean the actual disks? I probably have several hundred hanging around from projects years ago. Last time I had to access one was about two years ago when a client wanted a copy of a report we had done in 1986. Fortunately I still had all the data and the report on 5-1/4 DSDD floppies. Copied it all for him onto a 3-1/2. Thank goodness we had thought to save the text in .txt format; I don't have WordStar loaded on anything anymore, and I don't know whether Word or WordPerfect would know what to do with a Wordstar file format. I did have a copy of Reflex still loaded on my oldest computer, so I was able to convert the data to comma deliniated files for him. Charged him $150 an hour to do the conversions and he was happy as a clam, because he had lost his only remaining hard copy of the report and needed it badly. Probably could have charged him a lot more, but he had paid for the job originally, so fair's fair.
