I definitely recommend VirusZ III, it's lightweight an unobstrusive.

For people interested in source codes from the old Scene days: do check the disks SEKA2.adf , introUSA.adf, sources.adf, sources2.adf HQC.adf and HQC^1.adf.

Assembler and C sources from Bamiga Sector 1, The Beyonders and HQC on those.
Mostly simple tryouts and snippets, but introUSA.adf seems to be a full production.

It contains the source of their vector balls intro. Code was slow but the effect was neat for its day.

This is my option of choice, thanks a lot for going through the trouble

and nr 11 ...

Chips · 11 January 2018, 11:26

For thoses who have downloaded the images, what are the mainly new things unknow to tosec ? new crack ? on going crack ? scene productions ?

I remember some group put nice stickers on the disk, was it the case here ?

SimonV · 11 January 2018, 11:28

So far no "label art" for whatever reason ... as Bamiga counted 26 members at one point those might have ended up at someone's else place . Who knows ?

What I do know is that part 12 is ready.

SimonV · 11 January 2018, 13:47

and the next !

They are still in the process of being imaged, so that wouldn't make much sense. There are 13 torrents so far, so just get those and you can get the rest as they get posted.

I was running the West BBS a long time ago.
I had the European Headquarter for the group Defjam.
I have in my POSSO boxes and crates with 6550 labelled disks.

I tried many of them and they are working on my Amiga 3000.
A couple weeks ago I ran Giana Sisters, Outrun and Superfrog and they are still working.

I still have my "The Barons Copydisk" original disk.

Also I have a lot of hardware like Kickstarts on a chip and other nice things.
What can I do with them. Eat them? or throw them away...

Well, obviously they should all be dumped and preserved.. asap

If you can't/won't do it and can't find anyone nearby who would, then I know several people here in Denmark who are serious about preserving disks who could help getting everything preserved. If you are able to bring it to Helsingborg for example, I'm sure we could arrange a meet there so the drive won't be too significant for either party.

chiark · 11 January 2018, 22:54

Wow! Just... Wow! Saw this on facebook but wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in this preservation.

Definitely interested to see the demo source

spoUP · 11 January 2018, 22:55

We’ve got him covered here in Gothenburg, stay tuned!

You need crazy people like us to image that lot ;-) ...

That said here's number 14.
