It would be a lot cheaper to install a floppy drive in the
new computer. You could probably take the floppy drive out
of your old computer. Perhaps an adapter cable or two,
shouldn't cost more than $15. Even if it won't physically
mount in your new case, you can set it on something long
enough to get your data copied.
