Preservation for TI-99/4A software on floppies
seems to be pretty poor
right now, because of (as Jim mentioned) the rarity of the expansion box
and third-party software that used it.
Does there exist an emulator that can make use of the disk images? It strikes me that you're probably not going to
find a COBOL compiler
or heavy-duty productivity software in the collection, but the games
might be interesting to some.
Actually I think there might be some productivity software in there.
I don't know about a COBOL compiler, but I believe there is at least
one language disk. I'm hope to find time in the next couple months
to do some inventorying of the floppies.
