An expensive fix would be a DKC850! :). Although you can hook a disk drive to the unit, it is much easier to use the common utilities to just convert them and then load them all into the memory. No more disks..... SJ

I strongly recommend the DCK-850 in this situation. It will substantially modernize your experience.
You'll still be left with the issue of what to do with your floppy disk content. IMHO, it is worth the effort to migrate that data to the computer and then to USB flash drive.
