From time to time I do some project involving old hardware that requires connecting it to a modern computer. For example,
Getting the KIM-1 to talk to my Mac
Resurrecting a Dataman S4 PROM programmer
Ripping old mini DV video tapes on a Mac
And I've come to the conclusion that archiving the related hardware is important. For example, I got this Dataman S4 talking to my Mac using a few different cables. I bought a set of cables and archived them in a bag for the next time I need to do this.
These things are fairly inexpensive making it viable to archive them. Now I only have to worry about the drivers being available!
