Ringo's Utilities?

jdryyz · 24 February 2017, 03:38

Alright, this is a long shot but I will give it a try.

Does anyone have an .adf of a disk with this title? I had one years ago and used it frequently. It was an OS 1.3.x disk crammed with small utilities and had an icon that resembled the famous Beatle

I do not remember all that was on there by NComm was one of the programs. I know it would be easy to locate other sources for the files but that is not the point. I really liked this disk! It had some other customizations as well. I must have downloaded it from some BBS back in early nineties.

Thanks.

TOSEc team found it already ( ftp )

Awesome! Thank you kind sir!

Funny thing is the EAB FTP server was one of the places I searched on and did not find it. Strange.

Hmmm...not exactly as I remembered it. JRComm instead of NComm. The Ringo disk icon is missing too. I wonder if I had v1.0 or 1.1.

I will need to create a suitable environment to test with in WinUAE. It didn't boot on my A1200, although I originally used it on an A3000. Probably a Kickstart incompatibility.

the given version number, makes me thinking, there are others.
but it is the only one I can find. it was booting on an emulated a500/ kickstart 1.3.

Posted V1.2 in The Zone for you jdryyz, hope it is the version you are looking for

Yeah, I saw it was v1.2 in the first link which makes me wonder if I had something older (or newer?) to explain the differences. Not too worry, though. This disk gives me most of what I'm looking for. Thanks all for the help!
