#MAC WRITE EMULATOR INTERNET ARCHICE ARCHIVE#
Connecting with the KansasFest community made things even more enjoyable, since there was a vibrant, caring and smart group of people involved with the software as well.Īgain, thanks to the efforts of people long before myself, there were thousands of Apple II disk images floating around, so putting them on the Archive was a no-brainer. The fact it comes in units of very small (140k) disk images also makes it easier to work with, and the resulting software has a simple and crafted beauty I enjoy. It was a big part of my childhood, so that helps.
I love Apple II software, and there’s been a number of good archives, including the Asimov Archive, that have spent many years collecting Apple material together. Secondly, why did you choose to start aggressively archiving Apple II software?

But I think we’re the largest all around software archive in the world, where you can download everything in our collection, at any time, with no restriction. I joined around 2011, and at that point, I was asked to give the whole place a boost, and I really, really did – absorbing everything “vintage” I could find from my own archives and archives around the net, so we jumped far up in terms of actual “old” data being online, although a whole lot was locked away in. There was a general set of “data” we allowed people to upload, but left it at that – you were very much on your own to understand, download, and process.
At the time, it was to simply mirror TUCOWS, the Canadian software archive that has since become quite the powerhouse ISP and internet presence. The Archive has been doing software archiving for quite some time, easily back into the early 2000s. Paleotronic had a chat with archivist and documentary film-maker Jason Scott ( Get Lamp) about his efforts to preserve Apple II and other vintage computer software…įirstly, could you give a little background on how the Internet Archive came to be a host for vintage software?
