I think I would be satisfied just having raw images of the disks.
There is software (even some I've written myself!) that can read those
images.
I have a
friend who has a number (10-20) of 8" RT-11 floppies he
wants
to archive to CD-ROM or some other modern media. Is there anyone in
the Boston area (he lives in Medway) who could help with this? I
believe these are RX01 media since I think they were created on a
PDT-11/150 that I gave away to someone a few years ago. Can anyone
here help? What would the fee be for such a service?
I obviously cannot help, but it would be nice if, once it is done,
describe the procedure for others.
Backup is one thing, restoring the image another. A third thing would
be to use that image on some simulator...
