Status update: @textfiles from the @internetarchive has agreed to accept them. Incredible. Thank you all for the signal boost. Still some logistics to work out, but I can't think of a better set of hands to pass them on to.

I paid $1,600 to repair two UMATIC decks and describe a pass-the-hat situation (and also how to enjoy the output of the thousands of tapes done so far) here: bsky.app/profile/textfi…
Emulation in the browser is BACK at @internetarchive and there's a quarter million programs to try out! But first go play our #1 title: archive.org/details/msdos_…
@mcubanhey, sir. A million dollar donation to the internet archive to help support its storing all of the deleted tweets for you would be really welcome.
Archive team, would you kindly do what you exactly know to do.
Thanks to everyone for sticking through the Internet Archive's recovery process. While not everything is back by any means, it is back enough that additional repairs will come across the next full weeks. To reach me in the future, refer to this account's pinned tweet.
I'm taking the brunt of the bug reports for the next period of time for Internet Archive while the services returns, so the help desk can handle emergencies and higher-priority issues. reddit.com/r/internetarch…
Total was $325.
