How well has TI-99/4A software on floppies been

received a very large donation. As part of the donation is what
appears to be a complete TI-99/4A system complete with the
expansion box, and a couple other expansions. There is
documentation for at least some of the hardware and software.
TI software on floppies is uncommon; most TI owners I knew at the
time did carts and cassette only.
This is rather what I suspected. I'm looking for any advice on
preserving what is still readable and transferring it to CD. I've
never messed with a TI with floppies, and have only powered on one of
my TI's once or twice.
I did some googling tonight and see some floppies have been archived,
but I suspect we have a *LOT* more than what I was able to turn up on
the web.
