I still have my entire setup including software also, so I would like to have this info too! :)

Do they still make 5.25 floppies? We could always copy the info back if they do! :D

Well you could try and find an old 5.25" drive and copy them over that way. Thats the only way you could do it.

I have an old 5.25 drive in a spare PC, but I do not believe that it will read the OS that the Commodore wrote using their 5.25 drive. ;)
