 | Years ago, a computer store closed. The store owner gifted me with
1-RAMDISK 320 Memory System and an Apple III, neither of which I have
ever had a use. Now retired, it is time to unload parts of my
collection of odds and ends. I have the manual for the RAMDISK, also,
the original disks. These 5-1/4" floppies are of questionable value at
this late date. I cannot imagine that after all this time, they have
retrievable information. But they are original so far as I know.
These need a home, just not mine. Is there a place these could be
donated? Seems a shame to toss them in the junk pile. Suggestions
appreciated.

An Apple ///? I'd like to get my hands on one of those. XD Pity I'm on
a fixed income. :(

I own a ///. However, I have no clue about what a "RAMDisk 320" is. I
assume it's for a ///. In that case, I would be interested in it. I
don't suppose you still have the ///?

I think you'd be surprised at how well 5.25" floppies hold up. Unless they
were written to cheap media, there's no reason they should be unreadable.
Some of mine are coming up on 20 years old soon, and they're still readable.
3.5" floppies (especially high-density 3.5" floppies), OTOH...
