Couple of Disks and Covers
Just found some old cover disks, most of the stuff is already on the site, but got a couple of things that are not there.
I've got both cover disks from http://amr.abime.net/issue_1151 I've used EasyADF and scanned the disks. Also got both cover disks from http://amr.abime.net/issue_884 Can't seem to use EasyADF, but scanned the disks as you don't appear to have a disk image of Superdisk No.68 I'll upload above into the zone |

I remember AUI started using Diskspare to pack more data onto the 2nd disk. It could be why this doesn't ADF nicely.
Is there a method that these coverdisks could be archived for AMR? Would a WWarp image or similar be appropriate ? |

SPS dumping tool would be the best I think, eventually we hope to release the coverdisks as SPS images. WWarp as a backup is fine...

I know the only way to use diskspare with even number superdisks was with using blockspertrack=12. But they are on amiga DD disks and not in any archive on each disk. So the disk must be using blockspertrack=11. There by diskspre would have been no use at all for making these disks. As the user would not be able to read such diskspre disks. It is the problem i have now, maybe this info you say here was incorrectly written in the magazine and we both read it. Only i packed even number superdisks of 50 and above with diskspre. And now have the bigger problem of getting them back onto 880k DD amiga disks. Or blockpertrack-11 adf image. |

On this note quite a while ago. I actually unpacked all the superdisks I own into ADFs. I was hoping to contribute those. I am still renaming them, lol. Either that or I just contribute them not renamed.
These are: 1995 issues: February, May, September, October, December 1996 issues: January, February, March, April, May, July, September, December 1997 issues: March Since the original filenames of each dumped disk that was unpacked from a superdisk is: AUIMMMYYd.adz M(Month), Y(Year), d(disk number, in alphabetical order, not numeric e.g. 'a' i.e. '1'). The time I get onto renaming all of them. By now I could have already uploaded them with their original filenames, they could have been renamed by: CodeTapper or Galaxy, or some other AMR Team Member. Having an SPS image of a Superdisk is good to have as an archive of the original disk. Although, you still need to unpack the contents onto blank disks or ADFs anyway. So, I guess the time I took to extract and dump the contents of the superdisks was not wasted. Some of these superdisk issues unpack to around 7-8 disks.
