Original Workbench (and related) disks preservation - Checksums required

[icycool]

I just found this thread via your webpage.
I have a private version of diskripper that will do a disk density scan, and will help find modified tracks.
I also have quite a few original C= disks ~4-500, so perhaps some might be of help if you are still working on this.
The more copies there are of these disks, the greater success in generating a good copy out of them, at least 3 needed.

Preferably official/commercial, but every WB/KS disk is more than welcome

Hi MrDolby,

I just bought (and received) what appears to be a full set of developer disks for Release 2.0x (37.64)--which appears to be missing from your Workbench disk list.

If you're interested in any of the ADFs (and photos of the disks themselves), just let me know; I can either e-mail them or upload them to a private link on my website for easy download.

I'll also be e-mailing Olaf Barthel to see if any of these are something he's interested in from the standpoint of general Amiga archives:

* Amiga Workbench 37.64
* Install Disk V37.64
* Amiga Fonts 37.64
* Amiga Extras 37.64
* Amiga A3000 Kickstart 37.175
* Kickfile/Tools/Readme 37.175 (Developer Release)
* AutoDoc 37.1 (marked as "Confidential")
* Include 37.1 (marked as "Confidential")

Regards,

Greg

I was reminded of this project again, so decided to dump all of my WB disks.

Checksums will follow later after I attempt to verify them. Unfortunately most old 1.x WB disks are always modified or have viruses, so I'm not sure if I can be totally certain if there are any pristine ones. :-( I have several copies of some of these so hopefully I can find two that are the same.

These are all original labels. Maybe I'll take the time to photograph them at some point for proof.

Kickstart 1.1 327244-02 (Has a sticker 50Hz but probably it's the same part no for both)

Has "The Very First" disk been mentioned ?

= a simple tutorial disk

[Jope]

Well I just did in English and Swedish. For some reason no-one ever translated it to Finnish back then, so we got the Swedish one. AmigaTutor from the A1000 was translated though. :-)

Hi MrDolby,

I took my Commodore Amiga 500 out of the attic, purchased an ACA500+ and I dumped some of my original amiga disks with TSGui. Here are the workbench disks coming with my A500 -- bought in december 1990, in France :

• Workbench v1.3.2 rev 34.28 FR/BE => CRC-32:fc4d8346
• Workbench Extras => CRC-32: 2f9cea9f
• Premiers Pas => CRC-32: 895ade7e

"Premiers Pas" and "Workbench Extras" are already known by Tosec.

But surprisingly, Workbench v1.3.2 rev 34.28 FR/BE is unknown by Tosec.
