Best way to archive my floppies
« on: August 06, 2007, 10:34:21 PM »
(There is a question in here, believe it or not.)

After I got the A1200 tower, I decided to start going through my vast mess of Amiga floppies.  Some wheere mine, and some had belonged to a friend who had given me his 500, which I still have.

I dreaded this task.  I figured that at least 50% of what I had would have just died on me.  most of these disks were a decade old, some more like 15 and a couple pushing 20 years.

Too my surprise, it appears that more than 70% of it survived.  I had kept them in disk cases, but I didn't do that much for them.

Needless to say I have been archiving them to my hard drive as I go.  My question becomes, besides archiving them to my HD, or another floppy, what kind of backup media could I use?
