Disks galore
I'm loads of disks I've acquired over the years not all mine. Lots given to me that I've not checked. How would I go about checking if these disks are avaliable. I would hate to throw out a lost piece of software.

You can't know if a disk is "new" until you image it in some way

I see in image #3 the jolly roger cook book, so you might have some old Amiga Dialers in there. Can you image them or take more photos of box 3?

Little update on collection I think my floppy drive is goosed, every disk i put in nothing loads up, I have checked my Amiga & Drawbridge drives and both are doing the same thing on every floppy. Any tips on fixing the drives would be great. Until I get my drives fixed or replaced I cant do any more. Only done about 60

At the risk of sounding obvious: have you tried cleaning the heads of the drive with isopryl? Do you have a diagnostic cart? It might led yield other results (e.g. faulty memory chips). Finally, are you cleaning the disks at all before reading them? Hope these (abbreviated) suggestions help you in your efforts.
