Re: [PLUG] How to Archive Data for 20 Years?

[Michael Lazin <microlaser@gmail.com>]

I had the atari 800xl with 2 floppy drives and a 300 baud modem,  with an okimate 10 color printer through high school.   I upgraded to a 286 with a 14.4 modem when I went off to college.  When graduated I got a pentium 2.  It amazed me
  I dual booted with slackware and windows 95.  Later I tried redhat 5 and have been a linux fan ever since.

Come on, *someone* has to have a Timex Sinclair!  Apple ][e?

I've got an Atari 800XL but I've got power supply problems with the floppy drive so I can't load code.  It boots into the BASIC ROM though.  And I have my fully working (last I checked) Zenith 181 laptop and working 720K 3.5" floppies with DOS+WordStar on floppy A and data on floppy B.

I also have a stash of old computers, NICS, and floppy drives, so I could probably boot that old stuff up.  I even have a DOS 6.22 VMware VM (I forget if I have networking enabled on it).

Later,

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
