How do the floppies work then?

Assuming they are not Give Us a Break type floppies they just need copying to a folder and sorting, if they are then they would need imaging I.E. turning into a 1.44mb or 720k image then run the lot through clrmame with the fruit machine roms dat and mame and see whats left.

Would be a gutter if these were all unknowns we already got but with the amount in that box we can live and hope.

I've had a look through the disk box, there are a few question disks for JPM quizzers and the rest seem to be program roms for allsorts. I haven't checked all the disks yet but there are at least a couple (non-quiz) that won't read.
