jepler picked up some retro Apple floppy disks online. With Adafruit_Floppy and the Adafruit fork of fluxengine, they read out the data and loaded it in a Mac emulator. What a blast from the past, dithered "screen posters" using After Dark technology & comic book artwork.
Not all drives can read Mac floppies, a Sony drive worked but a Panasonic didn't.
