  If it is a NEXT, it’s probably on optical, not magnetic media.  I remember Howard Cunningham showed an early Next computer at an AMRAD meeting, which had ONLY an optical drive.  It took practically the whole meeting for it to boot up.... at least that’s what I remember.

  BTW, I can still boot up and read 8-inch floppies on my Imsai computer – so time has not ravaged them all.  SS/SD, but it works. I still have much of both the CP/M and another user group’s library.  I also have an Altair 8800 and an Altair 8800b turnkey, but they haven’t been powered up in about seven years now.  How about a nice game of chess?

I'll fire up my 300-baud acoustical modem.  :-)

I still have a couple of PMMI modems, if you can do 550 baud?
