How is that again???

If the floppy disk contains a valid RSLogix program, then you can copy it to your laptop, and then open it using the RSLogix program in "program mode".

To go online with an existing program, you need RSLinx set up to read the right communication ports. If you get RSLinx to comunicate with the PLC, then you will be able to access it with RSLogix, if you have the same or later version of RSLogix with which the program was originally written with. You will be able to see the comments and descriptions only if you have a copy of the original program database.

Better quit while you are a-head.

A flopPy in the hand is worth how many in the garbage, eh?
