None of these options should be considered endorsements, and Archive Team does not earn commission from the sale of these items. If any of these options seem daunting, a number of people have offered to accept floppy disks and pull the data using these tools. This page is meant to be a clearinghouse for various options that a person or group of reasonable technical ability could use to rescue data from floppy disks.
That said, a situation now exists where there are millions of these things out in the world, some of them containing rare or unusual pieces of history, and so there's a lot of benefit to getting all that old data off that medium. The USB stick, wireless access, the use of the internet, and a whole other range of options have rendered this medium obsolete. While they were cool-looking, convenient and even somewhat inexpensive after a while, Floppy Disks are out as a medium to store data on home computers.
