I've got several hundred 5.25" and 3.5" disks and I bought a bunch of
sterilite "show-off" containers at Walmart.

They're cheap, they stack on top of each other, and they fit 5.25"
disks. I separate them out by type (Apple Utilities, Apple Games etc.)

The cardboard milk cartons from Costco can be trimmed down to disk height and if you have the boxes that ten disks were sold in, they fit right inside so the disks aren't packed too tightly.

Thanks for sharing! I'll check it out. I wasted lots of fanfold
paper in the '70's playing ST on mainframes...

Thanks for this link, I actually have been using Appleworks for about
a year and within minutes this video series unlocked features for me
that I was ignorant of. I enjoy creating with Appleworks and this
information has made my key poking an even more enjoyable experience.

It also plays very softly through the speaker, I remember having to
stick my head next to the computer to hear it when I was a kid.

It's the title music (like with Archon 1).

Thanks, guys - I appreciate it.
This just in from the day-late-and-a-dollar-short department: I sat
down tonight and hacked until I figured out what was wrong with the
Uthernet init code that made you need to do a couple of DIRs to get it
started. If anyone wants to give that fix a try, a test .DSK built on

Thanks. With Archon 2, when did that music play? I had that game but
haven't heard that music before. Maybe it was removed as part of the

Well done everyone! I'll spoil the last two:
07:55 - Qix (Taito)
Probably notable for being a late entry (1989) to the platform, years
after it was in the arcade, and using DHR graphics and several garish
loading screens, despite being very abstract and simple during
gameplay.
09:00 - Koronis Rift (Lucasfilm Games a.k.a. LucasArts)

Yep, looks like with exception of the ProDOS source, none of the "premium"
items have bids yet, which is understandable. Though I don't see any
drawback to one bidding early if one indeed has the finances. One should
expect the competition to be minimal.
Of course, the "grab bag" items already have some bids:
