How can I BEST hook my BBC up to my PC, to transfer files. I have quite a 
few word-processing and spreadsheet documents.

I have been considering using an emulator, but I also need the rundown on
how to read my DFS disks, if the will, in my 5.25 drive. I understand that the
same-make drive in my PC may not read because of the discs being single
density.
