Subject: Files from Beeb to PC

Hi all,

I've just popped back onto this list after a many-years' absence to
find some info on the easiest way of moving a relatively small number
of files off my old Beeb (which is about to get donated elsewhere)
onto the PC, so one or two of my prized early programming efforts can
live on.

Can somebody point me in the direction of any web pages etc that can
tell me how to do it?

It's a BBC B, with a 5.25 inch 80 track 2 sided drive, discs in DFS.
I'd prefer not to have to find a 5.25 drive for the PC, but I do have
an RS423 to RS232 cable kicking about.

(The main program I want to save is an Ultima game clone I worked on
in the late-80s. For anybody who's interested, some screenshots here:

Cheers,

Daniel
