Comment on Where should I put diskette images?

As a sysadmin I had to find drivers for a scanner from epson from 1992 and if it wasnt for a internet archive floppy save. I wouldn’t have made it work. Our municipality uses some stone age things for the archives

Yeah I know, I’ve use other people’s disk dumps to save the day too. That’s kind of why I’m doing this.
I’m really amazed at how well they all read. I’ve only had one bad sector on a disk I have a duplicate of. Other than that, everything read perfectly. The oldest disk I dumped goes all the way back to 1985 and it read like a champ. The write protect sticker’s glue fared less well…
Oh well… 39 disks dumped. That’ll do for today. I didn’t even make a dent in the pile 🙂
