This sourceDescribes the 1986 BBC Domesday Project, made for the survey's 900th anniversary, and its delivery system: LV-ROM LaserVision discs read by a BBC Master with co-processor, SCSI card and videodisc filing-system ROM. Records that by 2002 the Domesday delivery hardware was obsolete and fragile, with only a few working systems left, and that the rescue 'came just in time' while the data could still be read off the discs. Reports the CAMiLEON emulator of the Domesday system, demonstrated at Leeds on 2 December 2002, alongside The National Archives' parallel 2002-03 rescue by data extraction and re-engineering for a modern PC.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
