I've been trying my hardest to find a way to bid and be able to find a way to collect this auction. I have "home" problems, which stops me from being able to travel this far.

Is there is anyone interested / and can drive ... this looks like a nice project

Happy to share the costs with anyone... happy to help out with imaging.

Bit too much for to pay atm its £205 with an 1hr to go. It would be amazing if however gets them archives them. Getting there wouldnt be too much of problem for me.

sTe · 27 December 2019, 19:37

If I win the bid, would there be anyway for you to get the disks to me to image (based in Mansfield) ... or would you like to image them -- can you use diskripper? Happy for you to have the disks after / pay for petrol. I'd like to get these / image and share back out.

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 19:40

yeah i would image them got any amiga doing nothing atm.

sTe · 27 December 2019, 19:41

Will see what I can do, have you used diskripper -- only piece of software I trust to fully rip disks?

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 19:42

i aint no but im sure its not that difficult

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 19:47

just run it via WinUAE looks easy enough. I would love to give back something to all Amigans out there. I love getting collections even if there is only 1 disk outta thousands, that you aint got, means a lot to me.

sTe · 27 December 2019, 19:50

yeah its great for recovering those difficult bad sectors / marks bad sectors on the ADF if it wasnt recoverable.

Assume you have KS2 / Hard drive / something to then be able to transfer to PC? Just want to make sure you can easily do this from your Amiga.

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 20:00

yep not a problem i've done The Emerald Mines Club Of GB, recently as I used to run it with DenisF author of Denmines.

sTe · 27 December 2019, 20:15

Looks like i got outbid at the last second ... d'oh

Many thanks for the offer to help.

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 20:16

7***e(902) £225.00 27 Dec 2019 at 9:50:25AM GMT

sTe · 27 December 2019, 20:22

Nope

I did it when there was 4 seconds left ... enough to confirm thats what I wanted to bid. Think he must have put in a bid ... then anyone who bids, his higher bid wins

I tried ...

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 20:28

Ya did mate, pity hope there will be another chance. Plus if ya need help with anything just ask me I'd be glad to help out.

sTe · 27 December 2019, 20:30

Cool, will keep you in mind.

Amiga, never ending ... always fun though

Sandancer · 27 December 2019, 20:31

I just hope who ever did win it archive's them

chip · 27 December 2019, 20:34

Don't be sad Ste, there will be other occasions

sTe · 27 December 2019, 20:35

fingers crossed

Mods -- feel free to delete thread.

Nice of you to attempt this @sTe . I wonder if winning bid was a forum user!?

I have a lot of disks that could do with imaging. There was an Atari ST collection I gave to a friend... who had a Kryoflux but I don't even think the imaging has even started lol. Some of these appear to have various viruses blatantly written on the top! I wonder whether the chaps I bought the entire lot (enough to fill the whole boot of hatchback) were hackers or part of the scene at some point...

The disks are no longer with me. But if they ever make their way back to me, I know who to pass on to lol.

sTe · 28 December 2019, 11:25

I've at least asked the seller to pass on my details. Hopefully they are a huge Amiga fan / wish to preserve the disks ... then again, i might wake up and it was all a dream

Wished i'd reached out earlier ... knowing I had a potential, I should have bid a lot higher

aghhhh well.

Yeah reach out if you get the disks, I have a Kryoflux ... testing a few other flux devices...
