Can I use fdc to read my 80-track BBC  dfs discs into my pc?  (PS: My PC is a 
Packard-bell 486sx model, if that makes any difference. Believe there may be
a problem with some pc's ability to read single density discs?)

Have lots of old files view word-processing I want to cross-load onto my pc, as
my monitor gave up the ghost.

Thanks.
