   The only 5.25" drives I own now are in my Model 4, although I've been   
   thinking hard about buying a USB drive. I tried using Super Utility 4 to   
   back up the disk, and that's what I thought was going well until the   
   higher sectors. It appeared to be reading data, but not doing any kind of   
   transfer. I didn't want to mess around too much with it for fear of   
   damaging a really old disk with a really old drive, and a lack of   
   knowledge on my part.
