Educational games
My father-in-law has given me his old Model B and a load of discs containing educational games. Most of them are pretty awful, but are they of interest for the archive? I can't find many of them on there.

Welcome, SevernWolf.
Are they of interest to the Archive? Can a duck swim?
Yes please. All educational material is gratefully received. Can these discs be imaged and posted here?
I can be contacted via the Contact link on the Archive website.

Re: Educational games
Will do. It seems that these are backups of the originals with some sort of disc menu added. Would you like me to try to separate them and add a !BOOT file first?

Re: Educational games
It will be best not to add !BOOT file. Some of the discs may read data directly from the disc surface and writing anything more to the disc could destroy that.
With such discs they are always archived first and then a copy of the image manipulated. Any damage to the image copy will then not destroy any data on the disc.
