The cd-rom is pretty 'weird' in its setup. Each disk is stored as a directory structure in a single folder with the releasenumber as foldername. Separately, a textfile explains which directorynumber should have which disklabel when a floppy is formatted, so all assigns will work when booted. The cd-rom is virtually useless on its own to run anything, because of these ASSIGN dependancies.
Given the livelihood of the AMOS community, I'm assuming that an ADF collection would be more welcome.
I can of course place 2 or 3 created ADF's in the zone as a review, to see if you, the experts, would deem it viable as a potential TOSEC collection candidate.
BTW: The collection spans 601 disks, but some are labelled as 'withdrawn' and thus not present on the cd-rom.
Oh, the archive.org link as promised:

So, i guess it's a choice of the TOSEC staff

Ah, always good to learn, the TOSEC board needs to agree too of course
I'll keep that in mind!
