Subject: transferring files from BBC floppies for use in a PC emulator

    Please, please, please help!

    I desperately want to be able to transfer some BBC software which I
currently have available on BBC 5.25" floppies to a PC in order to be able to
create disk images for use with a BBC emulator.

    The software is my own so I can't just search existing archives for it.

    I've tried using FDC and BeebDos with an old PC & 5.25" drive but so far
am getting nowhere.

    If you have any advice (or live in Greater London and already have the
means to do the transfer for me) then I'd love to hear from you and would
gladly pay for your help and/or buy you a pint.

    I'm not currently subscribed to the bbc-micro or xbeeb mailing lists so
please direct your replies to:

    Here's hoping ... Alec Turner

P.S. in gathering email addresses to send this to it's become apparent to me
     that the solution I'm looking for is probably to make a serial cable but
     if you've already done this and got it working then I'd much rather buy
     you a pint!
