Wouldnt have a clue Greg, every time i try and open or explore a disc it just keeps saying that it is unformatted, The only disc i can open is the map disc they are in either .cht or .dir

Dont know then. I usually use GPS trackmaker to exchange file formats. Maybe try the free download and try to open them????

Hi Mate,
If you haven't had any luck please send me an email jason@tmq.com.au and I may be able to help out.
P.S Is that a set of Clipper Instruments on the dash of your vessel I saw in a previous post?
Cheers,
J-Man.

Re: Furuno Guru Needed
Hi J man...yep it is a clipper set, I rang Furuno and they tell me they can put all the floppy discs onto a new cd for me, I am just a bit worried about them being lost in the mail on there way to QLD...
The files as far as i can see are .raw files which windows xp or newer does not support, ithey told me windows 98 or earlier will accept the discs, I tried 98 it did show there was info on the disc but would not let me back it up,
