In going through some ~18 year old moving boxes, I found a copy of an old Estes analysis program, Copyright 1990 called "PC Astrocad". It is on a 5.25" floppy. Does anyone have a working DOS/Windows computer that can still read a 5.25" floppy? Would like to take a look at what is there for historical purposes ( as apposed to hysterical porpoises). Thanks!

I asked if any of the IT people at work have a computer with a 5.25 FFD and no luck. If we could eventually copy it to a 3.5 FFD I have a couple of computers at home that can read that. One of which runs Windows XP. If someone just has the 5.25 drive I might be able to hook it up to one of my old computers.
