Bit of a heads up!
There is currently a chap on Ebay selling 700 disks and they appear to be NBS stuff. Some have the original labels, some appear to be just plain copies with written on disk labels and originals again but written over. I suspect a lot of these disks are easily available already via the UPD Gold, but there could be some lost gems in this lot! I am trying to justify buying the lot, but the seller wants at least £20.00 for each bundle of 100 and I will have to sneak them past my Wife lol.

NBS Catalogue
Hi ElectroBlaster,
Have sent a private message, D. p.s. If you want to buy all 700 of those eBay disks you mention in your last post, I do a nice line in fake invoices or will back you up with wife that you got them all for a tenner ! Alternatively won them in a raffle ? |

NBS & External Gotek
External Gotek now operational. Will try to produce an ADF of the NBS cat disk shortly. Can copy from Gotek to internal floppy, so now time to try floppy to USB.

Just trying to follow this post as I really love anything about the old PD Libraries & have the CD sets for 17Bit & UPD. As far as I'm aware though an actual NBS floppy disk collection doesn't exist (as opposed to the UPD CDs) so nostalgia aside what use would the library disks be. Or am I wrong?

But NBS did have some things they had created and it is these disks I would like to find and save. So far only a few disks have turned up but without knowing exactly how many exclusive disks they put out! it means this will probably never be resolved. |
