> As someone who made a great many HyperCard stacks... I don't suppose you still have the files for those stacks lying around? I maintain the HyperCard Online project, a collection[1] of over 3,500 HyperCard stacks on the Internet Archive directly emulated in-the-browser. I've made an uploader[2] that anyone can use to contribute their own stacks to the collection. It accepts all formats of stacks (all the .sit, .bin, .hqx-style compression formats that were common in the 80s/90s, disk images, and just raw HyperCard stacks). It's always great to see what stacks folks are uploading - recently a large number of Japanese stacks were uploaded, covering a wide range of topics.

I still do have some, I think, but I'm not sure I can currently extract them from the floppies and/or syquest cartridges I saved them on. I will scour my drives and upload any I can find. This is the first time I've seen your project, and I love it! The two that I would most like to find and post online were * A matrix math tool * A gadget that monitored a serial port for errors from a giant, industrial label printer I also had one that was very similar to the then-popular tool BackOrifice but for macs of the day. If I can get any of them onto a modern system I will definitely upload :)

  That would be awesome! Those sound like some really interesting stacks - particularly the industrial monitoring one, as there currently aren't many stacks like that in the collection. I'm happy to answer questions about moving stacks from old media onto more modern systems - there are a few 'gotchas' particularly due to the way old Macs used resource forks and new systems... don't.
