It’s been a busy summer. I last posted about two months ago, which is a little disappointing as I was on such a good roll. So, I figured I’d drop this update real quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl sent me a bunch of very old 3.5″ floppy disks along with some old CDs and DVDs with the hope that I could recover the data off them. So far, I’ve gone through all of the floppies and have built a database and web-based front-end to create a proper catalog of everything including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, if the disk contains any Cubase songs (ALL files) or arrangements (ARR files):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last item is being accomplished by using OBS to capture Cubase running in Hatari with a Munt (a Roland MT-32 emulator) instance stitched to it. These are recorded as MP4s and linked to the Cubase song entry in the catalog. All of the data mentioned above has been put in the database, with the exception of recoding the videos, which I’m about 41% done with so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was able to retrieve the data from all but three of the CDs and DVDs, seemingly due to heavy scratches. I’m assembling an automatic disc polisher to see if that will fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another box arrived yesterday with a bunch of 5.25″ floppies and CDs\/DVDs. I’ll start the recovery efforts on these next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video games added to the library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comics added to the library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
