Developed by the Software Preservation Society, the KryoFlux is a floppy disk controller that can read legacy magnetic media. Using the KryoFlux, we are able to capture raw disk images from legacy floppy disks. While AAA does not currently have a KryoFlux the Harry Ransom Center has given us access to their device. Any disks where we were unable to obtain a disk image using the TD3 Forensic Imager have been subsequently (when possible) imaged using the KryoFlux. Any future use of the KryoFlux should be coordinated between the AAA's curator, the HRC's Head of Digital Collections, and the HRC's Digital Archivist.
