HERE is a link to 481 disk images of the Plato series in .dsk format (I believe that's all of them - sorry no index).

 

mainbyte has a listing of the courses HERE

 

You'll need the Plato cartridge to use them with a real machine, or you can use THIS cartridge image with an emulator. (if the link is working).

 

(c'est ce que tu cherches?)

prototype or not ??

It depends, Humeur. You'd have to compare the disk contents with the version that was released (of that disk). There were about 100 Plato cartridges prepared as pre-release test articles (I have one--Mike Dudeck has a lot more of them), so these disks may have gone with them. Just my thoughts.

You can use any track copier to copy them (Rapid Copy or Copy-C should work fine). They just lack the standard TI Disk Header data, as they put that information somewhere else on the disk using a standard disk header exclusive to the Plato system. From the dates on some of them, these were definitely supposed to be used with the 100 evaluation cartridges I already mentioned. The enhanced disks have a strong likelihood of being different than the commercial releases, so preserving them is a very good idea.
