I have two sets of floppies that I want to read at this time. The
first, and likely simpler, is an old Super Solvers game for MS-DOS. The
second, and possibly more problematic, is Banyan Vines install media. I
expect that at least some of the Vines disks are PC format, but I
wouldn't be surprised if others were a Vines specific format that are
read after Vines (a Unix) is booted.
At this point I'm more concerned with saving the content of / files on
the disks than I am in saving a disk image that others can consume. But
I suspect this is biased in a non-trivial ignorance of what others might
want or wish that I had done to preserve these disks.
