Hi!

Something completely different: Few weeks ago I bought Novell DOS 7 on eBay. Noticed later, on my Windows XP machine I don't have an FDD to make images from the 3.5" floppies. So also bought a used Sony 2x Speed Read / Write USB Floppy Disk Drive (MPF88E-UA) on eBay Kleinanzeigen. Received today and had no problems to read all 8 disks.

Floppies from the year 1994 and a drive from 2009 still working in 2020. Nice.

(Btw: Imaging was done using Stefan Bion's IMAGE.COM. A86 sources available.)
