That is a great thing to offer.  It would be good if legacy format conversion was offered centrally, but in the absence of such service, it's good that MSUNAG fills a need otherwise lacking.  No doubt many important digital artifacts worth preserving are stranded due to format obsolescence.

Hello MSU NAG
I thought I should send this to everyone just to be helpful.
I have a system set up just to do this.   It has a HDDD 5.25 which can read both DSDD and HD 5.25 disks.  It has a 3.5 drive and it has a USB port to write to flash drives and a CD burner.   It is connected to the MSUnet.   It is running windows 98, because later versions of windows don't read and write to 5.25 disks properly.

I’m wondering if anyone has a 5.25” floppy drive laying around they no longer need? I found all my old floppies back from my DOS BBS days and I’m hoping to find some treasures in there. I’m pretty sure they are low density.
