<nods> I took the effort in 2000 to convert media and burn onto CD-ROM all the data I had in old media—mostly 5¼" floppy disks in ADFS L-format—whilst I still had access to a machines that could read them and convert them to an intermediary format (3½" disk in DOS format) that the machine with the CD-ROM burner could read); also to convert BBC Micro format screenshots in GIF images.
I'm glad I did so; my father's BBC Master is now broken, leaving me with no way to port such media in future.
Now my only problem is the fact all my old programs in BBC BASIC and AMPLE are in tokenised form and unreadable, except on my (own) BBC Master. (I did start a project to convert the former, but ran out of steam after not very long.)
