The EAD folder contains the Encoded Archival Description file for the Xanadu collection (example EAD\). This file currently does not contain any pointers to where the hard drives are physically located in the collection. We are also currently missing reference identifiers to the computer media in the finding aid. I believe this is just an oversight but I'm following up with Special Collections to determine why they are missing.

- Assets loaded on sul-brick; in directory /home/sulguest3/Yale/mssa.ms.1746. This directory is a BagIt bag.
- All of the assets are related to sub-components within the Computer diskettes (3.5 inch) subcomponent of Accession 2004-M-088.
- Within this directory, each directory has the format 2004-M-088.nnnn (e.g. 2004-M-088.0001)
- Directory names correlate with unitids in the EAD for components that represent individual disk.
- Each directory has three files: a disk image (.dd extension); an imaging log file (.txt); and filesystem level metadata extracted from the disk image (.xml; comparable to the CSV files created by FTK Imager)

- Assets loaded on sul-brick; in directory /home/sulguest3/Yale/mssa.ms.1691 - there are only 2 files.
- Each file asset is associated with a specific component; in other words, only two components have assets associated with them. The assets are a Microsoft Access database and a FileMaker Pro database.
- The components that have an asset associated with them contain a dao element. This element's xlink:href attribute is a file URI that points to the location on sul-brick (this is a hack, but it should be sufficient)

What I have to submit is some EAD for the Cheuse collection, and 4 zip files which match the id number of <co2> elements in the EAD. The zip files contain images of each disk and pdf files. I can't actually image the disks...I don't have the hardware yet. For the purposes of the tests, what I did was:
