Coverdisk list for SPS preservation

[ancalimon]

I have 22 Amiga Format coverdisks that are not on the list or are bad.

Now if someone can explain how to make images of the disks on my A1200. (it's got a proper Panasonic drive... But I also can use a Chinon FZ 357a)

I also have the following disks if they are needed:

CuAmiga 66, 67, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 129, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139

PS: Kryoflux gives ramlib guru after choosing dump to hd. Maybe I have to modify the disk a little bit for my Blizzard060 and FastATA-MK4? I'll try booting with unmodified ROM.

Edit: Ok fixed Kryoflux and now dumping the disks.. Where should I send them once finished? (choose my drive does not support 84 tracks because I needed to send stdout file).
Edıt2: I didn't know it was this slow.

Yeah, about 7 mins a Disk.

You can send them to Codetapper (codetapper at gmail)
but he is capped, So the Zone is another option.

I've started processing all the CU Amiga disks, but I've had more than enough for this evening and am starting to go crazy!

I have updated the lists, but CU Amiga 66 and 73 would be great to start with thanks!

[ancalimon]

Ok started dumping some AF disks. I've uploaded some inside ancalimon directory.

I'll try CuAmiga 66 and 73 now since you make it seem like it's urgent! :P
(This time I choose drive supports writing upto track 83 just in case)

I'm also dumping two Turkish diskmags named AmigaMag (I think there are games inside the disks too)

Haziran (June) issue causes a guru when you get to choose between magazine or PD game. It used to work

CU47 and CU71 are now perfect. CU73 has 2 tracks that are bad, 48.1 and 49.1 - detected as Rob Northen but data is corrupt. However the game appears to run, maybe those tracks by luck are not loaded by this demo of the game?

I still need another version of that disk to verify. Thanks for all your uploads!

Does the one I uploaded also have those bad tracks?

Uploaded CU Amiga 149 & 165 since no one else had them in the Zone.

I also have CU Amiga 145 undumped as well. Will take some time to dump it. I hope some one else has it.

I've found Amiga Action coverdisks 45a and 45b in my collection and I've scanned the covers here.

Is there anywhere I can send the disks themselves to be preserved and added to AMR? I believe the disks are likely to be in working condition but am unable to test them.

Thanks, I've been looking for these scans

You haven't got disk #46 have you?

[capehorn]

I'm afraid #45 is the only one I ever bought.

[tomse]

for preservation you should scan using a lossless format like TIF (not with jpg compression) or PNG.

[capehorn]

How peculiar, they were scanned as .png on my computer but imgur must have converted them during the upload. I've put the png files in the zone.

As for the disks themselves, I would have thought they they would be wanted as they contain PD games not listed on HOL, but I don't have the knowledge of how to preserve them. Would anyone like me to mail the disks to them?

[tomse]

thanks.

if you have an A1200 you can use the Kryoflux Free
http://kryoflux.com/?page=download

then contact Codetapper using a PM here on the board.

see if noone in your area can dump the disks.
if not I can dump them for you. I live in Denmark, so postage might
cost more than local rates.

[capehorn]

I would be willing to send the disks to Denmark, but first I'd like to check whether there is anyone in the UK who would be willing to receive them. Anyone?

[Nobby_UK]

I'll do it --- if nobody else will ?

[capehorn]

Feel free to send me a PM with your address if you'd like to do it Nobby

Thanks.

[tomse]

awesome!
