I've still got just about all my old Radio Shack Color Computer
floppies, and actually still have the old CoCo with floppy drive, so I
could still read my old disks if I wanted to.

There are programs for the peecee that will read CoCo floppies, though,
so even without the CoCos I could still read the contents of them, I'd
just need a 5.25" floppy drive.  I actually have a couple of those
stored here for that express purpose.  You can still find them at older,
small computer stores, the sort of place where they stockpile this stuff
from machines they've dismantled for parts.
