Files on nearly 200 floppy disks belonging to Star Trek creator recovered. Megan Geuss. Ars Technica. Jan 4, 2016.
Information from nearly 200 floppy disks that belonged to Gene Roddenberry has been recovered. Roddenberry, Star Trek creator, used the 160KB disks in the 1980's to store his work and "to capture story ideas, write scripts and notes." The 5.25-inch floppy disks, found several years after the death of Roddenberry, were used with two custom computers and a custom-built OS. The computers were no longer available for recovery use, so the floppies were sent to DriveSavers, which wrote software that could read the disks.
