Technosaurs: Locked and Loaded

Ready for action! Our equipment is packed for a short trip to the Origin Museum tonight - and then on to Mythic Entertainment tomorrow morning, where it will be used to archive a large collection of Origin and Wing Commander artifacts. What's on the manifest? A desktop, eight laptops, four tape drives, two SyQuest drives, five SCSI adapters, two VHS-to-DVD decks, a scanner, camera equipment, a CD resurfacer, computer tools, a DVD-ROM drive, hard drive enclosures, roughly five terabytes of storage, enough A/V, SCSI and power cables to strangle a Kilrathi and more! I took less stuff with me when I went away to college! We will do our best to keep you up-to-date as to our status as the week progresses. Wish us luck!

Mythic Project: Technosaurs are Go!

It's time to go! Starting tomorrow morning members of the CIC staff and other volunteers will begin making their way to Virginia to help archive what remains of Origin Systems' data library. We will be updating throughout the next week to let everyone know how the mission is going - expect big things!

Thanks to the invaluable assistance of the Wing Commander community, "Team Technosaur" is primed and ready with working equipment and methods for reading everything from 3.5" diskettes to SyQuest removable hard drives. Good work, everyone - we'll be working for you!
