ran accross some pretty esoteric DOS floppies today. If I can find a drive, should I dump an .img file or just make a .zip of the contents? Both? |
|
23:36
🔗
|
dashcloud |
do both- an .img is a permanent record, but a zip file of everything will let you get to playing stuff faster, and if there's problems on sectors not currently occupied by files, you'll avoid that as well |

if you think your stuff is likely to not be a normal format, you may need to use some additional hardware tools to properly archive them |
|
23:40
🔗
|
dashcloud |
there's hardware options on main page here: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:Rescuing_Floppy_Disks , software options on the talk page |

what I've found so far is old scientific sotware |

SadDM |
like, software to interface with scientific equipment |

SadDM |
some of it probably only works with a dongle |

here's a really hacky script to extract a decent amount of metadata off of the floppy and the files: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/laxoqeroqi.bash |
|
23:45
🔗
|
dashcloud |
it requires 7zip and mtools |

this is a pretty cool gadget as well for floppies: http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html |

somebody was cleaning out an old office at work and brought a whole box of old floppies. A lot of it is data, but there is some commercial stuff in there. I'm going to see if I can pick through it before it all gets binned. |
|

if you can, just grab all of it, and sort it out later |
|

|
dashcloud |
always possible to downsize, but you can't bring back what you don't have |
|

of course, this is all contigent on me getting my hands on a pc with a floppy dive. |

re: grabbing it all... true |

but I fear that my empoyer might have questions about what I was doing with 20 years of one of our scientist's data |
