All in 'Magazine Cover Disks and CDs/Italian magazines' on the file server now. 64 files in there.
I found them on my daily check, so sorry for not letting you know before moving them

Mmm... Ok, but I didn't finish naming/renaming them...

If I can't do it in the new location, could you move them back to my drawer so that I can finish working on them?

TCD · 16 July 2009, 17:16

Sure, back in your user folder. Just found some other stuff there which nobody annouced here on the board, that is why your files were moved too.

Done. Next time just give me a holler when you edit your upload after it's finished and this won't happen again

Ok

I didn't know you were there ready to "steal" my files while I was still working on them

. I saw them disappear before my eyes!

TCD · 16 July 2009, 18:52

Normally this won't happen

It was pure coincidence that you just had finished uploading the files and were still renaming them when I checked the folder

Anyway, it's sorted now and thanks for the upload

Marcuz · 16 July 2009, 19:04

checked. sadly, while i had definitely amiga byte 30 back in the day and i'm glad you have posted it, i am now positive that the game i'm looking for wasn't on any amiga byte.

i'm unsure between either Enigma Amiga disks or Amazing.
possibly it could have been Amiga Club too. the year should be 1990 or 1991... but sorry i'm OT...
thanks for the great upload!

21 July 2009, 10:33

Sorrry SupaMax, where is the ftp server ?

TCD · 21 July 2009, 10:38

He means the EAB file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633). You can find the disks in the folder 'Magazine Cover Disks and CDs/Italian magazines'

To ALL you Italians out there:

does anyone happen to have Super Amiga #3?

Lo' and behold ... it DOES exist, because I have a version of it (unfortunately hacked to bits, though

)
That means, I have the disk and ONE game that is on the disk, "Briscola" by Eugenio Ciceri. Also (c) 1988 Digiteam.

12 October 2009, 21:38

Hi,

I've just uploaded the disk image you are looking for in the File Server (thanks TheCyberDruid!), with a lot of other Italian Magazines. You can find them all here. If someone's interested, I've also packed them all in a nice archive and loaded them on Easyshare.

Hope this helps, bye!

TCD · 12 October 2009, 21:42

You are welcome sanity

Btw : You can directly link to the file server. For all those who are interested they are on the EAB file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633) in the folder 'Magazine Cover Disks and CDs/Italian magazines'. Thanks again for your upload

Oh and welcome to EAB! (nice introduction btw

)

Marcuz · 12 October 2009, 23:41

Woah! great job, thank you Sanity and TCD!

TCD · 12 October 2009, 23:47

All thanks go to Sanity

I merely moved some files

andreas · 13 October 2009, 08:47

Grazie mille Sanity!

What a start that you're making here!

14 October 2009, 00:37

Hey you all,

thanks a lot for your appreciation! If I happen to find more disk images I'll be gald to add them too, and I hope others will do the same.

In case you're interested, here is a (long-ish) bit of backstory.

Back in 2000, I discovered a lot of initiatives to collect and preserve software of past computers, so out of enthusiasm I decided to convert to ADF a lot of Amiga disks enclosed in magazines I bought years before (Amiga Bytes in particular). During the Christmas vacations, which I was forced to spend almost entirely in bed due to a bad flu, I gathered all my patience and my old A500, and took care of it. Since no disk2fdi or adfread existed back then, I had to do it directly on my Amiga itself via a tool named Messybench, which allowed to read MSDOS disks. I can assure you that with no external drive it was a painfully long and tedious job... But in the end I obtained a whole lot of ADF files, which I neatly stored in a folder of my hard drive.

Then I had a look around, and found out that something similar was done for Commodore 64 magazines, but not for the Amiga. So, the idea of "Project A" was born: a site where I could publish my material and invite other to collaborate, doing the same. Obviously, the project never started out: I was knee-deep in University studies, Internet connections were only available via 56k modems with per-minute call rates, et cetera.

Nowadays, time is still scarce, but I have a DSL, and the ADF files are still sitting in my hard drive, where I put them years ago... It would have been a shame to leave them there!

Thanks again, bye!

TCD · 14 October 2009, 00:43

Thanks again for sharing them now Sanity

Reading through your post I can imagine the efford that has gone into imaging them to ADF and be sure that we try out best to make them a good home on the EAB file server

mtb · 20 January 2010, 18:31

Found and imaged a disk with Octamed 1.00b, with the Amiga Byte Logo as disk icon.

Probably modified. Anyone interested?
