I want contribute to coverdisks

[compartelo]

I am spanish user (i dont speak english very well).
I have almost 45 coverdisk that I havent seen on you web. I should like send to you but i only want cost of mail.
I send you a quick scan of the coverdisk that i have.

I also have some magazine but i haven´t compared with you database if i have some that you need.

I live in Canary Islands (spain). If you have somebody or friend arrive here for hollydays or live here i can give on hand.

I wait some response (and if you speak spanish its better for me, haha).

Note. I have near 30 Amiga Magazine Germany (MarkT & Technik)

Hi compartelo and wellcome to EAB
I think if you wish to give your coverdisks to the amiga community the better way to do that is upload the disks to this site: http://amr.abime.net/ so all community has access to your gift

[compartelo]

I tought that they wants the original disks.

[Codetapper]

Compartelo: Just scan the disks as higher quality scans, and create ADF's of the actual disks and we will put them online. The PDF is too heavily compressed - and if you are going to scan them, scan them against a dark background (easiest trick is just to leave the scanner lid up) because both HOL and AMR have dark backgrounds.

[compartelo]

Ok Codetapper. I have some disk on adf and dms format but the rest I can not to do it because i had 2 A500 an 2 A4000 and I sold them.
Now I haven´t any Amigas.
I try to do it with adfread and two floppy pc

Why ADFs are not created for these disks if scan is present ?

Thanks

The disks are probably protected or in a format the cannot be ADF'd successfully

[compartelo]

Sometimes I have problemas with some disks convert to adf because it have error on track o sector, but this error have not allocated on data. Then I convert this disk on dms and its all right.

Later I convert dms on a new disk without track error and before convert again on adf. the problem its resolve.

Note: Sorry i dont speak english very well, this is spainglish or spanish-inglish

[Codetapper]

compartelo: Please PLEASE do not use DMS at all - it is a buggy piece of junk and it is most likely skipping the errors, writing different data to the archive, then when you convert it back it is effectively a different disk image. Probably at some point the demo won't work or some files on the disk will be broken.

If a normal safe ADF tool like DIC, Tracktool, DiskWiz etc cannot make a clean 901120 byte image without errors, DMS will certainly not either and you will just be creating alternative (ie. broken) archives.

[compartelo]

ok the best solution when the original disk can not copied to adf is:
I copy all data disk on drawer´s Hard Disk. After format a new disk and Copy all drawer´s hd on a new disk. Now i can convert to adf.

[killergorilla]

oh dear...

[Codetapper]

If the original disk cannot be copied (btw you should really tell us what you mean by that, is it constant read/write errors or tracks coming up as NDOS?) then copying the few visible files on the disk to somewhere else is a surefire way to ensure the disk will definitely NOT work as the original one did.

In those cases you should use something like the CAPS dumping tools to dump the disks or simply not bother as the ADF's you will create will not match the originals and have lots of data missing - and AMR does not want broken disks in it's archives!

[compartelo]

Well its clear for me that i dont speak english correctly and then i can not explain me that i want to say.

At first I only write example of original disk can not convert to adf because some sector is bad. Its possible a sector is bad but on this sector have not any data because the disk is not full. on this case when de errors have not data its possible to do a copy of data on hard disk and .... (explained above post)

The most of coverdisk that i have they are on good state. But Today I had a probe with ADFREAD and 2 PC floppies but i am unhappy because the adf have error with almost all disk. Now I have not amiga computer.
I think that its not possible convert correctly to adf my disks with this system
