A simpler solution may be just finding (or borrowing) a computer that has 5 1/4" and copy the files to 3 1/2". Although they actually aren't even making 3 1/2" disk anymore either! I still have an ancient computer I keep around just for the 5 1/4" drive. I can then copying them to my new computer and put them on CD.

Sorry, I don't want to sell it and shipping from Texas would be ridiculous anyway. Just look around for an ancient comupter at a used store. It would probably cost less money than rigging up a 5 1/4" drive.

Also note that if it is a game on 5 1/4" disk you can legally download the game from HOTU or something IF you legally own the game. As long as you own the game, you can download it because of your disk issue.
