Start by sending it to me! 🙂  

Wow. Thats... alot. I see alot of Apple disks... thats always nice.

What do you want to start? Uploading them or something or just sorting them out?

Yeah, sorting them out to begin with.  even though they are highly organized with lot and disk numbers, all the sleeves are completely out of order and most of the disks are mixed throughout.

I'll need to get them back into order, then see if they are already imaged at the ordinary repositories.  If not, see if the disks are image-able and upload them for everyone to enjoy.

Cool stash! I probably had half that many back in the '90's.

Now I'm down to only three three-ring binders.

I remember those hanging disk holders. Really handy.

Probably not a lot of those left around any more.

Nice catch joe! 

I have a box of old floppies lying somewhere at my parent's. Some of them nearly destroyed my poor SE/30's FDD a couple of years ago. That's how bad some of them really were. How do you plan on testing all of that Mac goodness?

I plan on testing them very leisurely!  😛

Before this, I didn't have very many disks.  I rely on FloppyEmu and disk images.  So, I probably won't even test software that is available from the garden or other repos.  I figure I'd burn through a drive or two trying to read all those.

I would only spend time on the disks that are not archived anywhere and then read/archive those. ;-)
