Is there an easy way to get the files from the hard drive onto removable media (floppies) so that a PC can read the files?
Thanks in advance.

The MAC is really ancient so it may not be possible to run with your suggestion. Sorry I don't know what version of MACOS it is using.
Are there any other ways to do it if the method you've suggested won't work?
Thanks in advance.
