<p>This thread got me thinking. I wonder what kind of opportunities
there might be for someone to start a business that specializes in
recovering data from old formats people don't use anymore.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I had an old thinkpad usb 3.5 floppy disk drive
accessory I kept around to boot cranky systems back in the
day, as oddly when some wouldn't work with certain usb cd,
that floppy always worked. I'd offer it up, but I haven't
seen/used it in 10+ years, and don't even know where to
start looking for it, but I'm sure you can still find them
on ebay.

<div>Good luck on the 5 inch, that you're just going to need
an old relic system for I think, but wouldn't surprise me
to see some hackers have made adapters to a more modern
interface and power for those as well.</div>

<div dir="auto">My parents have been cleaning out their
home and came across some 3 1/2 inch floppy disks, they
also found some 5 inch floppies. Does anyone have an
appropriate drive for either of these media items? I am
looking to borrow, but I don't imagine it will be
difficult to scrounge up the funds to purchase a drive
or two. All we are wanting us to pull what data we can
off them.</div>
