Amiga Coders Club (ACC) disks

Codetapper · 28 December 2001, 23:24

Hi folks

A few years ago my cousin bought the Amiga Coders Club disks from a PD outfit (Amiganuts?) which gave you tonnes of assembler examples to demonstrate coding. At the time I only had a 120Mb HD so installed the examples and got rid of the archives. Now for various reasons I would like them back...

Does anybody have this set of disks? There were at least 4, maybe up to 20 but my cousin only had about 6-7 of them. Some of the later disks were optional and had stuff like example modules and replayers, vectorballs etc etc.

I would dearly love to have these back so if anyone thinks they have them, please upload to the zone!

Thanks!

I used to have some of those ACC disks; they were very good and were sold by Amiganuts who were based in Southampton, England. I bought them through a PD company in the Isle of Wight. I have searched google and dogpile looking for Amiganuts and even though there is a webpage they are not the same people.
I too would like to get hold of these disks. I will keep looking... (Does anyone know of any current Amiga assembler boards/groups etc?)

For I have the following on floppy disk here in front of me...

Original ACC Assembler (C) Amiganuts - Sold under sub-licence by Seasoft Computing. (1 floppy disk)

Amiga Coders Club 1-4 on one disk.
Amiga Coders Club 5 (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 6 (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 7 (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 8 (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 13 (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 13 (decompacted source) (1 disk)
Amiga Coders Club 15 (decompacted source disk 1)
Amiga Coders Club 15 (decompacted source disk 2)
Amiga Coders Club 30 (disk 1)
Amiga Coders Club 30 (disk 2)

I remember that the disks where compressed and you had to decompress them to use them.

My mates comming round with a transfer cable tomorrow so I will work on converting them then.

Disks are now in the zone!!

(I havent tested them properly yet though)

Thanks heaps Big-Byte! You're a champion...

I will leech them tonight and test them. If there's anything you want which I might have please sing out...

Jherek Carnelia · 08 January 2002, 19:46

I second Codetapper. Well done Big Byte!

I'm bringing this ancient thread back alive because I'd dearly love it if someone could make the Amiga Coders Club disk images available again, so that I could check out my old work and maybe even get a lead or two on some old friends.

Pretty please?

Big-Byte · 18 September 2004, 04:45

Ive still got all the adfs I posted earlier and will upload them to the zone again once Ive got my PC back from my mate (sometime this weekend possibly - watch this space)

23 September 2004, 22:33

I've just had the awful thought that these already went up and were down again.. please say I didn't miss them while I was out of town

Whether I did or not, big thanks for going to the effort.

Big-Byte · 24 September 2004, 10:01

I havent put them up yet. No time. Will PM you.

05 November 2004, 01:07

As one of the people who used to actively contribute to the ACC disks (Mark Meany used to send them to me for free when I contributed), I would dearly love to get hold of these again. I may even have some of the disks hiding somewhere, but have no working Amiga to even use them if that's the case!

Please let us know when these images are once again available.

Thanks!

Neil.

Could somebody re-post the ACC disks please, I would like to have some fun re-learning Miggy asm. I'm getting bored with x86

Jherek Carnelia · 14 November 2004, 22:42

Disks 1 - 5 now in the zone...

14 November 2004, 23:34

Thanks. Big-Byte also sorted me out with what he had from the ACC collection. Now uploaded those to The Zone.

Would appreciate hearing from anybody who has any of the missing ones!

15 November 2004, 06:52

I've tried contacting the original founder (compiler/writer/editor) of the ACC disks - Mark Meany. I figured if anyone had the full set of disks it would be him.

5 seconds of detective work later.......

Googling that name bought up a website: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/9520/ which suprisingly is a old VB games programming tutorial page by someone called Mark Meany.

On his about me page he does mention a history of programming 68k on the Amiga's, and that he is from the UK, and Southampton....so I am 99.999% certain this is our man.

Unfortunately his email doesn't work

If anyone has ICQ he has a ICQ number on the site - I'm not gonna install that shitty ICQ rubbish !!

I've also tracked down Ray, the guy who used to run Amiganuts and have emailed him. Will update you all here if/when I recieve info.

He now runs runs http://www.medsoundstudio.com which is OctaMED for the PC.

Recieved this response from Ray (ex-boss of Amiganuts):

I will, however, ask my users as I know some do still use their Amiga's now and then.

If I get a response I 'will' let you know.

Sorry it's not better news,

All the very best,

Ray

Thanks anyway Ray, maybe just maybe we might have some luck with this.

Before anyone posts some gravedigger pics, this was done on request

A guy named 'Ko Ko' uploaded a lot of ACC disks to the file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633), which you can find in the folder 'Magazine Cover Disks and CDs/ACC-Preservation'. Hope that someone is still interested
