I'm planning on borrowing my employer's old, no-longer-used 3.5" autoloader to image a bunch of floppies, if I can figure out the control commands (just need to snoop on the serial data the software sends). I'm thinking of imaging the floppy, ejecting it, and then having a camera take a picture of the label, for when I go back through them |

At least you have a microcenter nearby. If I wanted to go to microcenter, I would have to drive 4-8 hours round-trip depending on which store and traffic conditions. |

True 'nuff. Only a half-hour out of my way, but still an annoyance. |

there are ratshacks and small computer stores nearby, though |

Hm. Would a Radio Shack carry that? It's not a cellphone so I'm dubious. |

Though in fairness, back around 2003 or so when I needed a peizo buzzer for my old Civic (it wouldn't beep at you when you left your lights on) they did have the exact part I needed. |

they did give me a box of blank 5 1/4" floppies once because it wasn't even in inventory |

Cool about the disks though. I sure wish I'd gotten a deal like that back when 3.5s were a buck a pop. |

it was such a bummer when aol switched to cd, no more free disks |

I used a few that way too. Then started using the DVD-type cases they mailed the CDs in for a while. |
