At the same time you write this message, I successfully read a 1994 3.5" disk from a German book about Borland/Turbo Pascal 7.0. ;-) But you're right. Not *all* software will probably work. Now I'm thinking about temporarily resurrecting my old PC with a 5.25" floppy disk drive to read two other disks from books.
