Haven't tried any 5.25" drives yet, but I'm happy to let you know what I try!

Searching this has been reallly difficult surprisingly and I know it has to have a proper name out there.
Interesting - lots of files and versions to keep track of! I forsee an overhaul of how we do things in my future.

Yeah, from what I've looked into so far, it's a very manual process. And of course! We're also thinking about how/where to describe the changed file in the finding aid.
Oh wow! I'll bring it to the archivists and see what they think of that plan - they may be for it if it's a small enough amount π
