I have an old AT Turbo "Bentley" - acquired by Dell back in the day, in the basement store room. I mainly keep it because I have a bunch of 5 1/4 disks (Low and High density) that I might one day convert to 3 1/2 disk format which I also have on another computer which could then write to the cloud, a Flash Drive or a External Storage Disk, or even a CD or DVD.

It is important to keep a usable chain of conversion technology available for the apocalypse.

It goes along with my collection of potable water in old 2 liter bottles.

Also of course my collection of Iomega 100 MB disks and my 120 MB floppies.

A few paper tapes also.
