+The following tutorial is kind contribution by our forum member **Magic Knight**.
 Last year I had a problem. I wanted to transfer files which I had downloaded from the Internet onto my Windows PC over to my X68000. I didn’t have a 5.25” drive on my PC, and even if I were to get one, I was running Windows XP so a program like xfloppy wasn’t going to work anyway. I do have a laptop, running Windows 98, but with no way to connect a 5.25” drive.
