LapLink Pro for DOS is the only solution in this case I can think of. That computer is too fragile to risk shipping here and even if they did, it's an MFM drive so putting it in a USB cradle of some sort is laughably out of the question.

@skematica This customer is still backing up. On 56 floppies as that is the way it was done back then. The chances of those disks being ~bible~ viable (damned autocorrect) now are like winning a lottery.

Makes me a nervous wreck.

When this is done, I'm imaging that drive, locating a IDE drive a little less decrepit than that 8GB Fujitsu, tossing the guts in a smaller case and putting the result in storage. It will happen to me again.

Only thing that remains is getting a DOS system up and running so I can test the transfer.

I'm having flashbacks

@kdfrawg I have a fellow Bass Ale aficionado / customer in Daytona Beach with a house right on the beach itself. That is actually a good idea.

Welcome to my world. :(

You need to look into this. Cappuccino does not like IE6.

If you don't mind, I'm going to CC this to the other 99 percent of the Internet to save myself some typing.

Their system is so ancient, it's only link to the outside world is a floppy drive, serial ports and a printer port.
