Hi Steve,

Do you really want to go to floppies? It may take a lot of them. If
full, that tape could hold more than 60MB, depending on the recording
density.

Can you read 4mm DAT? I can copy to that.

Give me a call and we can discuus our options. I am in the Dallas Fort
Worth area also.

Regards,

Bill
