Subject: BBC software transferral

Help - 
I finally have my BBC micro to hand, all my old software - boy is it 
nostalgic sifting through all that, and a pc with a 51/4 floppy drive. 
Trouble is I have two problems - first most of my software is on tape, 
and although somewhere I have a program to copy from tape to disk - many 
programs I put on disks that way simp[ly will not run from disk - 
problems with filename length for one, what is the best way of getting 
these gems onto a pc for use in an emulator?
My other problem is that I use Solidisk 1770 disk filing system, can I 
read these disks on a pc? Otherwise how do I construct a serial cable to 
transfer the files - I know this is a lot of questions but if anyone can 
help I hope I can pay back by uploading a lot of stuff to 
www.nvg.unit.no/bbc if it's wanted that is!!!
Thanks in advance,
Tony
