Amiga Utility Disks in ADF format

misguided_fool · 15 December 2006, 14:58

Hi guys,

I haven't been on here for ages. It's been manic in work. Hope you EAB people are keeping well and have a good christmas break over the next few weeks.

Reason for posting:

I'm looking for a good source on the net for amiga utility disks in adf format. I used to have some great ones on my real amiga which I compiled myself - which I'm hoping to do again shortly. There were so many cool disks out there rammed with programs. Now that I have some spare time, I'd like to play around with some again.

Any links would be much appreciated.

I've recently looked at planetemu, aminet etc but I haven't really found much of interest.

Cheers !

p.s. I currently on the look out for TBAG disks in adf format ? Any ideas ?

Tip: use xdms or adfopus batch to convert dms files to adf making access to disk more accessible.
Tip: Cops file take a tour to this eab thread;

Check this:
ftp://ftp.back2roots.org/pub/back2roots/disks
ftp://ftp.back2roots.org/pub/back2roots/cds

the most comprehensive collection of PD disks on the net (well, at least to my knowledge).

You'd need months to go through all these

the most obvious question to me seems to be - why aren't these in TOSEC?

If it's oldschool utilities you want (i.e. kick 1.2/1.3 era) then I know Digitech and Snuskbuske/Dual Crew released a BUNCH

Don't know who has them though.

I have around 950 Utility disks in my collection all in ADF format that i have been collecting for many years. I have most of the disks from the 17-Bit collection and alot that i downloaded from various websites. This list has the TOSEC disks in it also.

This is a list of my entire collection. I will gladly post any to the Zone that you want.

a lot of these disks can't be distributed because they have copyright software on it. i.e Cygnus Ed.

I don't know how many util disks I have with that legendary Cygnus Ed on it. But I would say it is over 50%

Anyone here remember an utility disk by "Public Enemy #1" or similar. It was the first util disk I ever had. It had a boot menu with items in two rows on the bottom of the screen. The only utility I remember using on it was CLI-Mate.
