In cleaning out some boxes I came across several old 3.5inch discs.. They are LABELED , " family pics" probably misplaced.

When transferring all photos from 3.5 to the now STANDARD CD or Thumb drives I must have omitted these.

Also note that the format was PICASA.. ( of course this would be a software issue)

Any one have any thoughts on how to recover these or deal with the "PICASA "

First see if the Floppy's are readable if they are although you say they are Picasa file , Picasa was a photo editing program so could read lots of file types. If the files are *.PMP then perhaps someone can SUGGEST a editor which will open them. IrfanviewIf the files are Picasa files which are *.PMP then Irfanview does not support opening them.

Google Picasa Does, as I don't have any files to check but this website shows it as a compatible file.

Thanks for you input.
If I recall PICASA was ORIGINALLY a free software from google.

Is there --available --peripheral HARDWARE that will or load play the 3.5 s? Thus I can copy into my newer photo files ?
Or am I trying to buy an Antique ?
Again Input appreciated.


You can still buy external 3,5 floppy drives...
