I use a very old floppy driven Autotrace SPE extractor. Yesterday it would not read the only disk containing my extraction method. Yes my bad for not making a backup!
The software to create disks does not seem to work.

Is there anyone out there still using this dated technology that could help me?

Thanks

Does the floppy drive work at all?
It's more likely the drive than the disk...
Thanks,

The drive may be replaceable if you know someone with old computer parts.
Is the computer so old that it doesn't have USB ports? I have recently had good luck with a USB floppy drive for transferring data between systems.
The Autotrace is ok, as other program disks run.
I messed with the software and stumbled on the way to create disks. I programed 2!!!!!!! Now to test them to see if they work as the old one.
