tspence35,

I have a Sony Mavica. I've had it probably 13 years or so. Do you have the floppy disk adapter and memory sticks? I use a card reader to get the images from the memory sticks to the computer. I also have an external USB floppy drive that I can use to read the disks. My computer is WinXP though, and I don't know if you can use the USB floppy drive with Windows 8. You've probably already tried all that, but just thought I would mention a possibility. Too bad you had to sell that old DCM carbine, but that "new" one sounds like a winner! - Bob
