"Amiga Byte": Italian magazine + floppy

Supamax · 12 May 2009, 18:54

Hi,

I have many numbers of Amiga Byte, Italian version. It was a magazine+floppy package, for Amiga.

I could perfectly dump almost all of them (.adf format), but unfortunately a few of them are no more readable. One has errors on all tracks (!), some only on some tracks (but these tracks are in the middle of some files, so the dump can't be 100% correct).

I'll list here the exact magazine numbers which I found ruined.

I searched all over the net, but I couldn't find any floppy disk dump related to the Italian Amiga Byte ... can somebody help me?

i had few of them years gone but i had lost them already in 1997; i've look on the www to recover them but i do not remember the dates nor the numbers.

i wish you luck in your search, i look forward to see the disks resurface as images

@Supamax @Marco:

It's not related to your quest for the Amiga Byte disks, I'm afraid, but this Amiga Magazine (It) thread might interest you both:

In case you're interested, I have perfect dumps of my 10..15 readable disks.
Should I upload them to The Zone?
I have the paper magazines, too, but that would mean a lot of scanning work!

P.S. I also have other Italian magazines very rare/undumped before.

Thanks!

I have some Amiga Magazine floppies (Italian), too. Perhaps I have something previously undumped. I'll check.

thank Prowler, the site source for the Amiga Magazine pdfs and disks is known since some year

http://www.amigamagazine.info/

Supamax, thanks! if you like to upload them, i will check them for sure, as i believe an old game i'm looking for since some year is from that magazine:

I will upload to the Server. I didn't yet try to upload something there (I have my drawer "Supamax").

Marcuz · 21 May 2009, 16:34

Supamax, did you had the time to sort the disks? i would look also the faulty disks, as i am looking for a single program, a directory could point me in the right direction in any case

Supamax · 21 May 2009, 20:12

Hi Marco,

sorry, gimme a days or two... I'm so busy, damn!

Massimo

Marcuz · 21 May 2009, 21:13

not to worry Massimo, i was just curious

i can myself spend time on EAB less these days...

13 July 2009, 15:29

hi supamax, can you send to me the adf disk of amigabyte n.20 ?
is a great memory of my past!
thx!

Supamax · 14 July 2009, 03:28

Hi mates,

sorry for the long delay...
I checked my Amiga Byte disks/dumps, and they are:

Amiga Byte # 02 .. 12
Amiga Byte # 14
Amiga Byte # 15
Amiga Byte # 17
Amiga Byte # 23
Amiga Byte # 24
Amiga Byte # 26
Amiga Byte # 27
Amiga Byte # 30
Amiga Byte # 46

@alex67: sorry, I don't have Amiga Byte # 20

Marcuz · 14 July 2009, 11:44

i would like to ask for number 30 (but i would not mind if you would upload all of them on the FTP, it seems they are not available anywhere else!)

after checking this site:
http://www.old-computer-mags.com/magazine/Magazine.htm
(have a look at it there's more than just Amiga Byte!)
i have understood that i had n.31 and two more issues. close to that one in time, not among the ones listed there, so i really would like to look at 30!

Graham Humphrey · 14 July 2009, 11:48

That looks like an excellent site so cheers for the link!

Marcuz · 14 July 2009, 12:38

btw, probably the Amiga Bytes i'm looking for are #32 - 35...
it would be very cool if there was a HOL project just for PD / shareware, games AND programs...

Hi Marco,
thanks for the link.

About #30, are you talking about the paper magazine or the attached floppy (adf) now ?

Marcuz · 14 July 2009, 15:43

only the adf: i'm searching really for a little program, whose name i've forgotten, that i remember being in one of the 3 Amiga Byte disks i had, therefore i would like to look at the adf

Supamax · 14 July 2009, 20:42

Amiga Byte # 30 (adf) in The Zone

Marcuz · 14 July 2009, 22:05

thank you Max!

Supamax · 16 July 2009, 16:33

I just finished uploading 60+ ADFs (all Italian magazines) to the FTP server, and what I see now? ALL DELETED!!

Is there a copyright problem???
Who deleted them, for God's sake?

TCD · 16 July 2009, 16:45

They aren't deleted, just moved

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
