Strider Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) One of the tech YT channels I enjoy is Level1Techs, and Wendell just posted a video about a C64 setup he picked up and how he's preserving the past by imaging and uploading the floppies to the Internet Archive. Basically, it's just a modern tech guy getting nostalgic about a computer that was before his time. So, I figured I would share. It also makes me wish I had the hardware to do this, I see a LOT of old floppies for various system on sale at local yard sales all the time. While reading IBM disks is easy, and I do have working drives in my basement, that's all I have. This just sounds fun to me. Do any of you archive like this in your spare time?

rje Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) I lack the hardware as well; otherwise, I'd be trolling the yard sales. I gave my Commodore system to a friend 17 years ago -- and it was a good choice to make. But I understand the draw of rescuing those old floppies. A generous hacker digitized the contents of three of my C64 diskettes a decade ago, and I am grateful for his kindness and consideration.
