Well, not a bad idea at all.
k:
I have been thinking and fiddling 'bout the same presevation process for quite some time.
However there are many games that need to be preserved with their manuals as a part of copy-protection mechanism (known as a doc check).
Does anybody here also scanning these manuals, or you're only into preliminary floppy images (I mean those who create the images, 'cause the probability they have manual is very high, hehe
?
radivx, your tutorial is a nice starter for the newbies. Above the DOSBox you can also mount the floppy images in VirtualPC - however with some limitations.
