[Coco] Need help copying 400+ CoCo floppies

[Carey Eugene]

Hi people.

As you may remember, I was the one a couple weeks ago that had planned to throw away all my old CoCo stuff.

I am having a few difficulties copying my collection of disks.  Ranging from problems with OmniFlop, to floppy issues, to lack of time, etc.

Copying my own 'important' stuff is time consuming enough, but I still have about 400-450 floppies of various programs that I accumulated over the years.  (These aren't the originals.  Just copies.  I'll post the small list of original software and hardware later.  Hopefully somebody will pay me enough to at least cover the cost of the shipping.)

To be honest... although I don't want to see them thrown away, it's way too much trouble for me to do all that copying myself.  I'm not likely to ever look at that stuff again.

If anybody wants to do all this stuff for me, PLEASE let me know.  You can keep the floppies and just send me a cd with the disk images.  And, of course, post the disk images where ever it is you people do that.

I know this sounds like a lot to ask... I'm wanting you to do my work for me.  And, I guess that's true!  But you people are the ones wanting this stuff, so I'm hoping somebody will want to do it.


There are a few things to be aware of...

1) The disks are usually either regular 35 track rsdos or 40 track dsdd OS9 disks.  (OmniFlop doesn't want to recognize the OS9 disks.  I don't know why.)  However, there may be one or two 40 track RSDOS disks.  There are also definetly some copy protected disks in there.

I don't know how you'll make an image of the copy protected stuff.  I browsed the web and it looks like only one program (a Mac program) can even create images of copy protected disks.  Maybe I missed something.

The disks themselves can be copied with Spit-N-Image, but that doesn't create a disk image, of course.

I don't know how you are going to deal with this, but considering some good games & programs are copy protected, doing those as well is part of the deal.  I realize you might not succeeed, but I'd hope you'll at least try...

2) Some of the disks don't have labels.  I think they are programs, but if by some chance they have my personal data (old letters, whatever), they don't get posted.  I'd like my private stuff to remain private.  (I'm not talking about games in progress and save-games, and stuff.)

Number two is particularly important....  I don't think it's unreasonable, either.


Alright, here's the list.  Generally, it's one line per floppy.  Many floppies are double sided flippies, but are still counted as one.

It's not organized well, but it might be interesting.  I just copied down what was written on the disk label.
