We could all sign up with what we have (via a webpage, a bit of PHP and MySQL) and then offer to make copies on an as needed basis. For the first request for System-X, everyone registered as having System-X is emailed asking for a copy. Someone offers to supply the copy and uploads it. It is then available for others (and future requests are fufilled automatically without bothering anyone). Throw in a mechanism to indicate whether a copy did or did not work for you, and you have the makings of a feedback system. Once a replacement for teledisk is found, existing stuff could be converted. Perhaps it might be best to allow for multiple image formats for the same data. Given the small size of old system images, storage space is hardly going to be a problem. Antonio -- --------------- Antonio Carlini arcarlini at iee.org
