Reading old floppy disks?

Question

Ok so I was clearing out my attic the other day when I stumbled across a box of old computer games. You know, the sort that require DOSbox to even run.
My question is, is there a way for a new PC (windows XP or Vista based) to read the old Amiga floppy disk format?

I no longer have an Amiga machine, much less the original my cousin used to play on when I was 3 xD
Is there a piece of software that could allow a PC to read the old floppy disks?
So far all i'm getting is "Do you want to Format?"...uh no thanx >>;;

Answer 1

Chances are very slim that the data can even be readable even if you have the right software to read them. They don't hold up too long - especially in an attic.



Google some DOS emulators. Maybe someone has a way of running that stuff. It's worth a try.
