How can we help you?
You can use our disk conversion service to convert, or just copy, your data files from a wide range of media, including PCW 3", PCW 3.5", PC 5.25", PC 3.5" and Mac 3.5" diskettes, to PC or Mac formatted media, or email.
You send us the media you can't read, and the converted files will be send back to you in a format you can!
Please note, however, that only conversion of your text documents and a small number of image file types, are possible. Unfortunately, as only copying, rather than conversion, of other file types, it is not possible to convert your old programs to run on new systems! Sorry.
Details of the conversion service
Conversion of your old diskette files to Office-compatible versions costs a single fixed fee of £15 per diskette (or up to 1Mb of files in emails or on CD/DVD-ROM), then email the new files back to you.
Our promise:
If none of your diskette files can be converted, but we have agreed with you that it is possible, then your payment will be refunded in full and your diskettes will be returned to you!!
