Need to read an Amstrad PCW disc

[bernardgreen]

A friend has a disc from a PCW from which she needs to recover the data, text files, in some format. Print out would be acceptable but PC readable format would be prefered.

She is reluctant to post the disc so I am looking for someone who has a working Amstrad PCW that can read discs who would be prepared to read the disc. I can travel easily to locations in the Bedford, Milton Keynes, Northampton area and will re-imburse reasonable costs.

Ouch, are these on the native 3" disks too?

Thanks for the reply.

I have spoken to Luxsoft and all looks good, that is providing she is happy to trust the disc to the postal service.

I do wonder if an Amiga +3 would read the disks they also used 3 inch disks? I have one but a bit too far away in North Wales.

You can get a PCW for a few pounds on Ebay but for the fiver the above service seems very good.

I would use registered/insurance backed post though if its important, perhaps even a courier.
