Once its archived the plan is to get them hosted somewhere.  The disks,  Id like to sell off in lots of 25, 50 and 100.  Once they are archived they are taking up space


I would buy fully working disks, when I went trough over 1000 floppies som years ago something like 40% was damaged :/

Hit me with a PM if you need hosting, I got gigabit fiber at my dissposal and servers with loads of resources free :)

May I ask what country do you live in?

Im in the USA,  sorry its been so long getting back to you guys.  Been archiving the disks.  Im at about 5000 disks in with about 2500 more to go :),  Trying to hunt up an A1200 so I can pass the torch of the project onto a good friend who loves preserving entire machines :)

How's the archiving going? Are the disks hosted anywhere?

Oh wait, I found http://slandon110.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/passing-the-torch-of-the-digital-archival-project/

It's out of your hands then I guess.
