If you want the data back, I'd still recommend getting a USB drive, but also get software that can read the entire data as a disk image in one pass, so as to reduce any back-and-forth on the disk.
Thanks, I had no idea about disk image software. I found some ancient software called WinImage and its companion Extrac.

A USB floppy drive is less than US$13 on Amazon. Maybe I should order some boxes of floppies to bring the price to $25 so I can get free shipping.

There were some other Li'l Bits fonts that I never saw unfortunately; I wouldn't have minded getting the Jetsons one as well.
