[ih] Floppy/Stiffy Disks

Hi,

a distant in-law recently found a bunch of disks from the early 90's on which they started a memoir and wonder how to get to them again.

This is obviously of general interest, and so wonder whether anyone here on the list has contacts or information in this regard. Which computer museum might still be able to read stiffies/floppies (I assume MS-DOS or early Windows)?

If one could get the files off, the next thing would be to translate them into anything currently readable such as MarkDown, but that depends obviously on the file format.


greetings, el
