As a fun project, I restored an old Pentium PC which has a 5 1/4″ floppy drive, a 3 1/2″ diskette drive, and a CD-ROM drive. I also have an Iomega Zip drive, and drives for DVD and Blu-ray discs. I have plenty of spare parts so this system should last quite awhile.
If you need to access these legacy storage formats, I offer my services in transferring this data into email attachments or a cloud system.
This is a hobby for me, not a business. There is no guarantee that the transfer will be successful as these media do corrupt over time. But I will try my best.
Contact me on this website by leaving a comment below and we’ll arrange shipment and payment (I am in Montreal, and we can do an e-Transfer).
My fee: $5 CAD per item (floppy, diskette, Zip, CD, DVD, Blu-ray).
If you are a company that does transfers and need help, let me know. Perhaps I may be of assistance. If you are a member of a police agency working on a case where there is legacy media to access, I am willing to provide my services free of charge.
