you folks have it so nice today!
when i archived my amiga disks in 1994, i had to dms/lha them on my a2000 hdd and everytime the harddisk was full, i had to transfer them via null-modem-cable to the pc, and when the pcs hdd was full, i archived them on qic-80 tapes

NLS · 19 January 2018, 16:16

Simon, you didn't say, will all be cleaned up eventually?

Also why not the cleaned version replace the non cleaned and you guys keep both?
(in case something went wrong?)

Maybe it would be better for each cleaned (or in the end for all of them together) to instead just add an extra archive of "junk"?
(no need for duplicates, but disks with errors etc. sometimes are useful)

DamienD · 19 January 2018, 16:21

@NLS; let's just get the whole collection .ADF'd first "as is".

Next steps:

... Revisit disks that had issues; by using alternate hardware / software / methods.
... Final clean up.

Patience man

So you have a big bunch of QIC-80 tapes in the attic, filled with disk images ready to see the light of day again?

SimonV · 19 January 2018, 18:07

Nope, we deliver the junk and the community can do the rest if they like ( or not ) . If the cleaning stops at some point ... so be it. We just do our part.

Divide and conquer is the way to go.

haha, sorting out files, most of them are already with/in tosec.
fopr the rest i am making batches as i go, submitting them to tosec ppl to check them out.

nothing will be lost

@TMB : do you have amiga modules (i.e. music)? Always looking for original modules rather than ripps.

All right... thanks buddy.

Our not so subtle way of saying to get up and start digging in our archive ;-)

It is such a an enormous amount of floppies ... if we would have to do the processing from a to z that would take ages and I am just not motivated to do all that.

This way everything is available fast for everyone. Tosec can do their pick and pull, others can just grab what they want and some can just take their trip to memory lane exploring and discovering.... for me that is the most satisfying way.

DamienD · 20 January 2018, 00:25

Yeah man, nothing better than the feeling of sharing with other like minded people who appreciate the contents / effort involved

Otherwise, what's the point?

SimonV · 20 January 2018, 00:44

To be honest I thought everyone was going to have a good laugh when I posted the pictures of the haul. As in “look at him with his wall of floppies while everything is on Tosec already” ...

That it would become one of 2018’s hot Amiga topics with attention from all over the world on youtube, Twitter, a plethora of Amiga related news sites in lots of different languages.... I did not see that coming.

It has became a fun ride, that is for sure.

SimonV · 20 January 2018, 10:58

And here are 4 more boxes to get you going this weekend ...

1time · 20 January 2018, 13:07

This is awesome!

mai · 20 January 2018, 14:15

box 01 - 35
5392 Disks
3854 not in TOSEC

anyway, a lot of new disk dumps to check.

icycool · 20 January 2018, 14:19
