Hey there, it sounds like you have a great collection of games and an interest to help. I will do everything I can to support you here.
First, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience but our site is having issues with hotmail / outlook, and also gmail accounts. If you can please try again with a different e-mail address, we can get you added. If you need a free and easy one, we know that protonmail works. https://proton.me/
As for the plextor drive requirement, if you have a serious interest in contributing, I can help you out with sourcing a drive and/or assist with the purchase, and/or try to help coordinate the preservation of the rare games you have. There are a number of ways in which we can assist you here.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, and/or reach out in the discord (if you'd like), where I can help even further:

If you don't have/use discord, I can assist you on here or via e-mail.
Thank you for your interest!
