BS1 Collection - awesome looking haul of disks

[DamienD]

Don't forget that virtually the entire TOSEC collection is on the EAB File Server

thanks but nothing particular atm.
I do my search also using the eab ftp search, which should include latest tosec too, I think.
I also have some index files from the eab ftp ISOs, and Im using SOTDS by StoneOakvalley.

now for example there is not a single adf for Hotlicks - some midi tool.
there is some hope, since it is listed on some BS1 index floppy, maybe we will see it soon.

same goes for Midi Quest 4

can you find them somewhere else?

Sorry emufan, I could not find none of the mentioned programs, not in TOSEC or on the net.

no problem, but it shows there is still a lot to add to tosec, once we find them.
thanks for looking

@tmb: the debugger tool from another thread?
I've been looking already, nothing which fits.
with some luck this one may sit on one of the utility disks, which unfortunately have no index file.

#1) almost nothing: CD01: P0719 SHERLOCK V2.0
this is the missing iso I mentioned above, with Studio 24.
we only have CD03: Collection/BBS/AGA Utilities CD v2.0 (World Off Liberty)(April 1999).rar

Maybe you should create one big topic about missing appz?

[ma693541]

Better start a new thread with the missing Apps. Like MIA Apps or BW Apps.
BTW remember the rules here at EAB.

not a bad idea, this way it does work with the "Lightwave Plugins" request thread
maybe in the future, now I'm too lazy

I think a sticky " drop your random imaged floppy box - link here " - topic would be great. A topic where anyone can post a link to his dropbox or whatever when he has imaged some old floppy box that he got with an Amiga found on an attic.

[ma693541]

A very good idea SimonV, but I suppose we have females too here at EAB, not only guys.

It doesn't happen so many times what you are doing SimonV, this because a thread for preserved disks it doesn't exist

I suspect can be counted on one hand ... but fair enough, where he or she can dump his images for further investigation.

Obviously it's not happening that much that someone even thinks about accepting 10.000 floppies let alone organizes to image them in a month or so ( what was I thinking ? ) ... but I think it happens more or less on a daily basis someone buys an A500 or so and gets two boxes of floppies with. It's those boxes that need to be imaged to find some stuff that is lost or broken.

I would be glad as you if everyone that own floppy disks make the dumps and then share the images
(I have 174 GB of Amiga disks/exe/archives on my notebook )

But it seems to me that the disks contributions are rare
I don't know, creating a thread could increase the will of people to share stuff ?

That's what the project.TOSEC (amiga only) section and various threads contained within are for

I just found the archive.org mirror - good step. I like the 3rd image the most

[mark_k]

In part 50 there is "Amiga bestand 16-06-94.adf"
That contains PenPal and several databases with lists of disks, totalling maybe ~5000? Is that the BS1 set or some other person/group's collection?

"Lijst maand mei 94.adf" contains a long text file which looks like a file listing for some BBS.

Go up a level to "Disk Drives: Collections of Files from the Era of the Drive":

https://archive.org/details/diskdrives

There are some other really interesting collections listed there.
