Data Recovery, We recently received a series of 5.25 inch 500kb / 360kb floppies which had been sitting in an archive store for a number of years. The disks appeared to be in good condition but were initially not recognised by the floppy drive. The disks were obviously heavily contaminated on the surfaces probably an oxide build up over the years. After undergoing our special recovery processes all the data was successfully recovered but it was a warning to the client that the remaining disks should be extracted to a CD as soon as possible. So email or call for a quotation now..

Data transfer and Conversion, Apple Mac computers from the 1980s used 3.5 inch floppy disks which cannot be read in modern Macs or PC floppy drives. A popular office document program was ClarisWorks whose files need to be read and converted for use on Windows or Modern Mac OSX. Email or call us for file transfer to CD and conversion of Mac Claris Works files to Windows PC Microsoft Office or Works..

Data Transfer, The PDP11 DEC computers used a special file system to store files on 8 inch floppy disks. Apex can now recover these files with their names and transfer them to a CD for use on modern PC Windows computers. Disks were typically 8 inch Single Sided Double Density SS DD 26 sectors per track, 77 tracks, 256 bytes 128 bytes per sector floppy disk eg. Nashua marked FD-1 D WP S.S./D.D. Soft Sec 26/128 9001-200 Professional Magnetic Media. Floppies were often written on old DEC RT11-A (PDP11) DECRT11A SZRT11A S-RT11A machines using RX02.

Data Recovery and Transfer, 8 inch floppy disk drives are larger versions of the 5.25 floppy prevalent during early 1980's. If you have ever seen one of these disk drives they look like dinosaurs of the modern floppy drives.We can recover your data from 8 floppy discs and copy the files to a CD or email them back to you. There is still a lot of Military hardware, legacy computers and CAD CAM CNC machinery that use these disks as well as some old text files that people need to revive. Call or email us for a transfer / data recovery quote..

Data Transfer, Apex Technology can now offer a service to read your old Amstrad and Schneider Floppy disks and transfer the files to CD for use in Modern PCs. Many files were written in LocoScript Word Processor and they can be converted to MS Word while retaining most of the formatting. This includes Amsoft Compact Floppy Disc CF2 Cartridges for Single (Flip Discs) and Double Headed Drives 180-kb and 720KB.

Data Recovery, After years of storage Floppy disk coatings of iron oxide can decay meaning they cannot be read or mount on desktop - usually at a time you suddenly remember that critical file is on one from 1982. We can usually extract sufficient text or documents from such floppy disks to enable the files to be reconstructed..

Amsoft 3 inch floppy disks marked CF2 Compact Floppy for Single Head Drive including Locoscript files that needed to be copied to CD. Many thanks indeed. That's great! I can finally access some of my ancestor/family tree files that I thought were effectively lost because I no longer had the complete information. But now I have, thanks to you! With best wishes,.

I had some old 5.25 floppy disks for a BBC micro that I wished to use on a BBC emulator on my laptop. I had not accessed the disks in 15 or so years!!! They were Single Sided Double Density 180kb disks (the physical disk was DS/DD 500kb/360kb) written on an external Cumana 5.25 inch floppy drive drive. Excellent news on the recovery, thanks..

We had KAYPRO CP/M 2.2 with wordstar files on 5.25 inch floppy disks. These disks have 10 sectors per track used in Kaypro machines of the early 1980s from Non-Linear Systems. The files were read and transferred/copied to CD. Thank you.
