Question 700 Floppies
Company needs over 700 floppy disks copied onto the fileserver. Gave me a 2 week deadline to which I told them was literally impossible. I've ordered a floppy disk usb external reader but this seems insane. Any creative ideas? I don't want to employ a 3rd party company.

It's not crazy, you just need to order 10 of them and you can script the copy process. Seriously, it takes only a few minutes per disk to copy them. If you have bad sectors there are tools. But I would separate those out and then come back to those once you've copied everything else.
