Request for someone with Kryoflux drive:

Post by bjladd »

Hi, I'm trying to get FTP access and would like to offer up my 7 disk DELL Windows 3.1 package. I have no desire to buy $100+ Kryoflux drive to try to back up these disks that may not even be readable after 30 years of sitting on the shelf.

Would someone be willing to scan these disks for me if I ship them to you?

I'd greatly appreciate it. Let me know!

Thanks,
bjladd

I would be happy to archive them for you, but it depends how far you want to send them. Maybe there's a member more local to your area.

Where in the world are you situated?

If you want, you can also ship them to me (Germany). Feel free to contact me via PM
I upload stuff to archive.org from time to time. See here for everything that doesn't fit BA

I am in Sweden. So I guess it's up to you to decide unless someone closer offers to help :).

Thanks for the offers, I really appreciate it. I'll wait to see if someone more local posts. In the meantime, I've uploaded a game from 2008 that I think may fulfill the criteria for FTP access.

That too would be acceptable. What game is it by the way?

I don't want to mention it publicly because it's still sold. It's a pretty niche puzzle game and the physical CD's are almost sold out making it a great candidate for archiving, but I don't feel comfortable sharing it until I know the final remaining CD's are sold.

@bjladd: Are the disks 5¼ or 3½?
