The disks from @ai6yr arrived today! Thank you, this is so much fun 😁 Will eventually fire up a Plus or SE to try a few of the bootable program disks, but just imaging and exploring for now
So far 17/17 are good, a mix of 400k and 800k

A 'single sided' 400k disk, formatted to 800k, reads perfectly almost 40 years later! 😅 @ai6yr
@likesoldmacs I really was fond of Studio Session.

@likesoldmacs @ai6yr Heh, that's why they sold those special purpose punches to put the "double sided" hole into SS disks ... they pretty much all worked fine!

I have an SE which hasn't been fired up in at least 25 years. It would be interesting to see if it still works. I might even have some disks somewhere.
@godzero @likesoldmacs The issue is going to be capacitors. All fixable, of course.
