The bitsavers archive is 267 Gbytes.
So at 4.7G per DVD, it comes out to almost 60
DVD's.
I remember a PDQ Bach radio quiz show where the prize
was The Wagner Ring
Cycle on convenient 45 RPM records.
I would suggest using Blue-Ray media, at 25GB or 50GB per disk. We're then
down to 6 or 11 platters.
