request: scan the special issues of CU Amiga

ugopaliotto · 04 July 2007, 20:29

The December 1995 issue of CU Amiga came out with a booklet about Amiga E. Could you scan it? I've looked for it in the Extra section but there was no thumbnail to click on...
In the same number, there was a new about the first 15.000 A1200 made by Solectron for AT. It pointed out that every Amiga Bundle contained a special CU Amiga issue, named "The complete kickstart guide to your Amiga!". Is there a chance to view scanned this one too?

Complete Kickstart guide has been scanned (courtesy of Mad-Matt), haven't had time to process and upload yet - watch this space.

The Amiga E guide is a small cover book - not high priority to scan as it is long (100+ pages) and is in a format that isn't easy to scan. If someone else wants to scan the book and contribute contact us. I'm happy to upload it, but I don't have the time at the moment to do much Amiga-related work.

I might have a spare copy of the book somewhere.. I might be able to send to you if I can find it ugopaliotto

else I got it too, might be able to scan it, when my holiday starts

But I will not promise anything, as the book is a little hard to scan without destrying it, and I dont have much time

well I have made a complete scan of the booklet

It's not the most perfect scan, but it looking nice, and you can read the text

So Galaxy shall I upload them to you

If they are already processed (ie. they are straight or at least pretty straight, and a suitable size - ie. not 300 dpi) you might as well upload them directly to the HOL FTP and I can move them over to AMR - saves us having to reupload them if there is no processing to be done.

This is the worst scan, most are better than this, are they good enough. I can try extracting the text with an OCR program, but dont know when I got the time

If it's okey I will upload them to hol ftp

since it seems there is no interest in the scans I will delete them.

Sorry for wasting your time

@Dizzy: Sorry I didn't reply - must have missed your original post.

Thanks for scanning this.

By all means upload them - just be aware that I may not have time to process them for a while.

Will do it as soon as possible
