(re: Kings Quest 6 Corrupt Floppies!) Solution for anybody with 5.25 floppies:
Go to a thrift store, buy an old x86 PC with both drives, and copy the disks one by one the old way, then copy those disks to a CD, with lots of games backed-up.
Or, if the x86 has Win3.x or above, networking via serial or parallel port is possible. Lastly, check for a cheap way to just buy the extra floppy drive and hook it up.
All floppy disk controllers in all PCs support 5.25, and WinXP has a driver for it. I still use my mine today in the new PC I just bought (another Compaq Presario).
