Very old version
Posted: 2008-02-05 13:47:04
Hi, everybody,
I am new to this forum.
I bought a Macintosh LC475, with system F1-7.1 in march 1993. I think my computer is almost dead now (that is almost fifteen years of perfect work !), but I still can save files when it wakes up from its coma... At the same time I bought the computer, I also acquired :
NISUS WRITER
The powerful Document Processor
Licence : ###########
... for writing in chinese and japanese.
No idea what the version number was : maybe it was the initial version with no version numbering ?
Anyway, I am about to buy a brand new Macintosh and a brand new version of Nisus.
My questions are : How can I transfer the files to the new computer, knowing that the only possible output is 5'1/4 floppies ? Apparently, there has been no floppy disk readers for a long time on the new macintosh models. So, can I dream about an external floppy disk reader which would be plugged through an USB to the new computer, AND, MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION, will the current versions of Nisus (express or pro) be able to read those files created by such an old version of Nisus ?
Two questions in one ! Thank you very much to any response.
