A: The 5.25 inch floppy disks used with the C64 are not compatible with the ones used by 'modern' PCs. Therefore, they can not be read out through the 5.25 inch diskdrives included in PCs. To port all of this data, I connected my good old 1541 Commodore disk drive to my PC at home, and used 'Starcommander' to port the data.
Q: Which equipment did you use to convert the files?
A: I used a 486 PC, two 1541 (-II) disk drives (the first one broke about half way through) and a big harddisk to store all of the data. I also used a connector to hook up the 1541 to the PC. The software I used to port the data is 'Starcommander', an excellent tool.
