I got this and can't really help. From what I understand if you assist
him so he can get the files off then he is willing to give the machine.
Sorry, didn't think until now to ask where he lives. Reply to address

I own a Toshiba T250 CPM PC that is around 17 years old. It is in excellent
condition, and fully operational. It has 2 8 inch floppy diskette drives.
The disk drives are high capacity, and the floppies contain 1MB of data.
I have a lot of text data that I would like to move to a Windows based
system. I'm looking either for an 8 inch drive that I can connect to a
Windows PC, or another solution.
I have never been able to locate a communications application that will wild
card the file transfers, making the job way to ponderous to do one file at a
time. There are literally thousands of small files.
Do you know of an 8 inch drive that is compatible with a Windows PC and my
high capacity 8 inch floppies. Also, if you are interested in my machine I
am more than willing to part with it after I move all the data.
