I was going thru one of my boxes looking for some manuals and ran across a selection of original disks and was wondering if there is a desire for those?
Should I image them and put them somewhere (no idea if they work at this stage)?
They appear in decent shape, they are in individual ziplock baggies.
I didn't do that, way to organized for me.
I have some things that I will keep, like the huge batch of original DSDD System 7.5.3 disks. There has to be over 20 of them. And MS Word 5.1.
But I have things like a set of 7 floppies labeled for an LC III? I've never owned an LC III.
Aldus Pagemaker 5.0.
Quark Express 3.31.
etc..
There is even a single floppy in a baggy all by itself labeled "Christmas for Macintosh (Simple Simon Says Series) ;-)
Are these all probably already archived somewhere? Should I try and send them somewhere?
Thanx...
p.s. On a totally unrelated note. After the issue I had with my Mac Classic, I realized I needed to check my other Mac, which was in the closet and I hadn't checked in quite a while. A IIsi. But I saw some battery exploding horror videos on youtube and was actually a bit nervous to check. Well, tonight I checked and it looks good.
Now, that doesn't mean it is CAP wise. A quick 5 second looks at the caps I could see were OK, but I know that doesn't mean anything. But at least there is no obvious damage.
So, going to have to order a cap kit for him...
