Solved How To Access Seattle Filmworks PICTURES ON DISK

  • -12

Have several SEATTLE Film Works 3 1/2″ square PICTURES ON DISK disks.
One in front of me dated 11-03-95. RELEASE 2.01 w. How can I access them on my Toshiba laptop with windows 10 with a standard cd player. Or are there who can process them for me on cd’s or dvd’s?

  1. “black hard plastic 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 units which have a silver metal rectangle on front and back”

    If it looks like this, (irregardless of color) it’s a floppy:

    If that’s the case, then you’ll need a floppy drive (likely an external USB one, see below) and the software mentioned in the aforementioned post to be able to read the types of files on the disks:

    A word of caution—assuming they are floppies (never used SFW before), they quite likely would be unreadable if they’ve not been stored in nearly-ideal conditions. Floppy-media is subject to deterioration over time and unless stored in a dark, cool, dry environment, will degrade even more quickly.
