Cross-platform floppy issue

I have lots of Microsoft Word and picture (jpg) files that I stored on floppies back when I had a Performa-era MacIntosh. I'd like to tranfer these files to CD using my Windows XP machine, but it won't read the floppies written by the Mac. I still have the old Mac machine but the monitor is dead and it has a 14K modem. So, I would rather not buy a used monitor and try to slowly mail all of these files to the new machine

Is there a sofware fix to allow my Windows XP machine read the Apple floppies

help me! help me

If they were mac formatted, it's doubtful. You'd be better off finding a
friend with a mac and a cd burner and asking them to burn your files to a cd
for you.
 
Try the software at this link. Jym
