I would be more then happy to take over a leadership/management roll in
such an archive, if no one else would step up to run it...

Personally, I don't see why we shouldn't start a parallel archive,
just in case, at least of some of the more common formats. It would
be a life's work (literally) to build an archive as extensive as
Don's, but for most of us here, I would think that a dozen or two
disks would meet most of our needs (Kaypro, Osbourne, NorthStar...)
I've heard a lot of people talking about this over the past couple
days
but no action. It doesn't take much to launch an archive. Jay
already
offered the digital space and the bandwidth. Someone should take a
leadership role here. I would but I don't think I'm keen to add yet
another project to my agenda.
If everyone started contributing en masse to a parallel archive,
what Don
had could be duplicated in 6 months.
