Reading old FM file on 720k 2dd diskette

[Capt Tom]

I have a 1985-1989 Filemaker file on a diskette (720k) and am not sure if it was a Mac or MS operating system. It has a list of all the 8mm home family movies of the 1940's and 1950's. I no longer have a drive, nor the original computer or copy of FM. Does anyone know how I could get a print-out of this information as we are having the 8mm film copied to DVD and having the description data would greatly help.

Thank you, Tom Stapleton

If forum-errs cannot help, try a data recovery shop, or an archive or museum.

(I did some work for the ABC TV/Radio Archives and the old equipment they have to keep up and running is unbelievable.)

Yes a problem. Even files just a few years old can be impossible to open on a modern computer. for example Lion OS and Power PC files
