The paleotronic folks have been on fire lately. Their Apple II emulator, microM8 is fast becoming one of the most advanced, cross-platform emulators.

How do I contribute? I recently used ADTPro to copy a lot of old Apple II software onto my MacBook Pro as DSK images.

5.25 floppies:

I've also got a larger selection of DD floppies, HD floppies, JAZ disks, SCSI disks, IDE disks, MacFormat and other CDs. Please tell me if you want the links!

You could join the Apple2 Slack, and ask if there's anything there that hasn't been captured.

Also, just show off pictures — people will be interested! :-)

You might want to contact Jason Scott at the Internet Archive, especially if some of those are copy-protected: http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/5180

I know HN doesn't really do "this" or "me too" comments, but I want to underline this isn't just another option, this is the canonical option. Jason Scott is really an important and respected archivist and the IA should really be the first port of call before anyone looks at sending disks elsewhere.

Oh, and it's written in Go.

(Cue incoming comments (a) asking me why it's relevant what language it's written in, and (b) talking about how much better it would be if it were written in Rust. :-) )
