I need to retrieve files from my mother's Mac IIci. (Just need the keystrokes to re-use them in a new book.)
1) I could get the files onto floppies, but I'm working on a new iMac OS 10.5.8. Possibility: get a floppy drive that will play nice with my computer. Do they exist?
2) The other option I hoped would work would be to hook up an old Zip Drive to her computer via scsi cable, retrieve the files, then use my USB cabled Zip drive to bring them to my computer. The problem on that end is that my mother's computer is not recognizing the Zip disk/drive. Might be the disk I was using.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
