FYI- Media preservation/data recovery is a different effort and will follow this effort. It would likely be located in the warehouse. I anticipate using a similar applesause system for as much as we can, and augment with whatever other systems necessary things it cannot do. Hopefully folks really interested in working this part of the operation will be able to come forward for lending expertise.
I can support for ST-506 type drives. I've only used imd and kryloflux for floppy.
Thank you, I was tunnel visioned on removable media, mainly flopppies but yes there is wider media need in mostly in the preservation in the warehouse, a bit also in the museum too so we can recover exhibits from loss of data. Some are already running substitute modern memory Card replacements for ease of backup and replacement. We also have tape to contend with. So this is a bigger subject than the applesause application at VCF Mid Atlantic.
