Preservation for TI-99/4A software on floppies seems to be pretty poor right
now, because of (as Jim mentioned) the rarity of the expansion box and
third-party software that used it.  There are a few large-ish archives, but
they're almost entirely unorganized -- nothing remotely approaching the
TOSEC sets available for other systems.  If you're able to image a
significant number of those floppies, that would be a real service to
enthusiasts.

You might know this already, but you might look to see whether that
expansion box houses a MyArc Geneve 9640, or any of the software is for the
Geneve rather than the stock TI-99/4A.
