Even if you had 3.5" floppies, there were hundreds of formats, your best chances with anything are with finding the original machine capable of reading the disks.
A few years ago, I had about 500 3.5" floppy disks, that were not only from an HP 9845 computer from 1976, were created using a 3rd party 'storage rom' on a disk/harddrive combo unit not originally designed for the HP 9845. (Looked like it came from the HP Apollo series unix machines.)
I went so far as to track down the original author of the storage rom. He couldn't tell me much except that there were hundreds of different 3.5" formats from the era. He wished me luck, and mailed me an original manual for his rom that he had kicking around.;)
In then end, I got an old HP 9845 machine, made it use the printer for the console, since the display was fried... bought this product called HT Basic for windows with an IEEE-488 card, and I wrote basic programs on either end, to send the data over to the PC.
He cited the example of how Google Maps can command Internet Explorer to use VML (Vector Markup Language by Microsoft) to display a blue line between geographical points, but use a PNG graphic format and a linear description for the Firefox browser."
SO THATS WHY the blue line won't print in Exploder, but will when I use firefox. Thanks slashdot!:D
Actually, I'm in Canada, and I always insist that packages are sent USPS. Otherwise I get shafted with UPS's brokerage fees, and other nonsense. I once had to pay ~$30US for brokerage on a motherboard someone gave me... and the worst part is, the motherboard wasn't even worth that...
There is absolutly no reason to buy pentium ][ 's or ]I['s... think about it. Celeron 300a costs $100 Canadian.. even if it shortens a 10 year product life to 4 years... are you really going to be worried about it 4 years from now? Look at that pile of 386's on the floor. I don't think so.
I'm running an dual celeron 300a box, overclocked to 450. (ppga type), and sure, I had to put beefy heat sinks on, but total cost including motheboard 2 chips and converters was less than the cost of a single P2/450 CPU.:)... Even if you had all kinds of money to spend... why would you?

Good luck buddy, you're going to need it.
Some how they are only going to affect BitTorrent/P2P Traffic.
This is old news now... Bell has just admitted to it.
