I expect you know far more about this than I do! "Pete's own undocumented image
format" is probably not a good idea :-)
Other than that anything that has some supporting documentation available would
seem sensible - it'll always be possible to convert between formats then.
I get lost trying to remember all the issues regarding writing to discs in
different machines (wish there was a website that collected all that
information together, for various platforms) - I can't for the life of me
remember if it's possible to write to beeb discs with a PC, which would
probably be my preferred option. My BBC Master can emulate an XT so maybe
there's something on that side that can take a PC format 5.25 disc and write
out to a beeb disc. I have no idea...
I'm more concerned about the disc set being archived somewhere than delving in
and playing around with my ARM unit now though - same goes for other systems.
I've already got machines that are non-runners at present because the software
has gone and is unobtainable :-(

hmm, mine was pretty late then if they did only make 50. Mine came from Kent
uni; I have no idea what it was doing there, but the same place sourced quite a
few bits of beeb equipment. Maybe they did some official product testing or
something.
cheers
Jules
