Please dump your ST disks!

Interceptor · 30 May 2008, 22:17

SPS is finishing off its support for Non-Amiga formats. and is now needing as many samples of these disks as possible to finalise a few things. this includes ST disks, PC-DOS disks, as well as archimedes.

we've already had a good amount of stuff dumped, but certainly more is needed.

there are other benefits, many amiga games not yet preserved rely on this functionality, and so this will also bring on the release of many amiga disks too.

the EAB community has been very supportive of SPS so far, and with your help we can pull this feat off too

these disks are dumped in exactly the same way as your amiga disks.

if you've not contributed before and would like to do so, please contact SPS via the website, or PM me here.

thanks!

I assume you'd like DD PC disks too - don't these have the same format as ST disks?

yes indeed, although PC disks didnt seem to popular in europe, and not many americans seem to have an amiga suitable for dumping, so i just went right for the ST request.

absolutely great ! I have now a 1.44mb amiga drive, can i dump 1.44mb PC disks with it ?
This drive is able to read amiga 880kb and 1440kb HD PC floppies !
Also, i have some PC games with nice protected tracks on them hehehe.

but ok ! Let do this

cool!

what type of drive is it? a genuine chinon amiga one?

dlfrsilver · 31 May 2008, 00:42

nope it's a modified one from micronik (bought as new !). you just need the PC drivers, and it reads 1.44mb
PC disks like a charm !

I will try on joe and mac caveman ninja european release, since it has a good disk protection + manual passwords

At the moment Sam Coupe, ST, Acorn, Spectrum, CPC games are the really interesting ones - though dumping some of those requires a special adaptor. http://www.softpres.org/article:hard...drive_to_amiga

...but feel free to submit Joe and Mac of course

dlfrsilver · 31 May 2008, 01:34

Yes Joe and mac is a bitch in european version. i have also the US version, on which the
disk protection has not been incorporated, but there's still password protected.
