When did you last _want_ to access your old DOS and CP/M stuff?
For the last couple of years, and I would add, *NOW!*
If it is so important, like the BBC Model B based laser disc 900th anniversary Doomsday Book, maybe now is the time to migrate and run an emulator.
I have an emulator, but much of the stuff I want to transcribe is on CF2 diskettes, and what is on 3œ" floppies can't be read on this box.
I have about 300,000 words of a novel and half a book of short stories on CF2, and I want to get on with them...
