If the photo come up you see the floppy disk I still have just found them from cleaning my room.for people who do not what floppy disk are it did the job of what flash drive memory stick do today. What do I have on my floppy disk What else stories and photos. I m going to see if I can find a old computer if it works so I open my floppy disk and get the photos up I should be able to use a USB cord to do it. With photos I can use phone camera and take from the computer screen.

I have always been a great fan of the humble floppy disk. They only had a capacity of 1.44 Mb, but that still holds a fair number of documents or spreadsheets. I still have several disks and even an unused floppy drive, but sadly modern motherboards do not have a floppy controller.

@eagletrek2 It will be a long while before CD ROMs disappear because they support SATA, so will last until a new interface is developed.

I hope that you will be able to recover your data. I have been badly surprised a few year ago when I realized that many of my floppies had corrupted data, and I transferred everything I could save on a DVD. I have no more reader for them now.

I don't think I have anymore of those things. It would be funny to find one laying around. But at this point I have nothing to open them with. I really think I tossed them all years ago.

@eagletrek2 I know. But I personally have not used one of those in many years. I rely on the cloud these days.
