I will post a list of missing disks later, so hold your horses until then

Btw : MIA list for the 'normal' coverdisks updated in the first post of this thread.

prowler · 15 August 2010, 21:34

Hey TCD,

The archive I uploaded contained AF102a.adf as well. I inadvertently missed it out of the list I posted, but it is there!

Sorry about that.

TCD · 15 August 2010, 21:38

No worries and great to have that one off the list

Next time I should check the disks and not the post...

Btw : Anyone ever used 'DiskSqueeze' ? Seems like there are some missing subscriber disks only available in that format...

Yes, I've used it. Where are those images?

I've just made a useful discovery. I've just put my original AF133, AF134 and AF135 CDs in my DVD-RAM drive and, lo and behold, the coverdisk images for those issues are in the Coverdisks folder on those discs in DMS format. I've just unpacked them and I'm uploading them to the Zone.

If anyone has a more complete collection of AF CD-ROMS than I have, or has downloaded them from the EAB server, we may be able to plug some of the remaining gaps from those discs.

I can't say when they started including the coverdisks on the CD-ROM in DMS format, but they weren't included on the AF117 CD for sure.

TCD · 15 August 2010, 22:09

Great news prowler (both the missing disk images and DiskSqueeze)!
You can find the missing coverdisk images in 'Collection/Coverdisk/Amiga Format/Subscriber Disks/DiskSqueeze'. I only left the ones that are missing in there

Will add your new disks and update the MIA list in the first post then

prowler · 15 August 2010, 22:24

Alright, I've grabbed those DiskSqueeze images. I'll unpack them and try them out tomorrow, and upload them in ADF format if they're okay.

TCD · 15 August 2010, 22:25

Thanks prowler

If they are okay, we have only 1 missing subscriber disk

If that's No.57, then I have it, and I'll upload that tomorrow as well!

Brilliant work! Now does anyone have the original disks that they can scan to fill the gaps in AMR?

TCD · 15 August 2010, 22:36

Okay...
That would mean we have the full set of AF subscriber disks on the file server... *sniff* give me a moment...

No really, would be great if we could complete that one as well

Then we would have both the full CD and the full subscriber set

I have quite a few of them.

AF054b (extended)

AF063b (extended)
AF066b (extended)
AF072b (extended)
AF074b
AF077a & AF077b
AF078a & AF078b
AF079a & AF079b
AF080a
AF081a & AF081b
AF082a & AF082b
AF083a & AF083b
AF084a
AF086a1 & AF086a2 <-- These are two different disks labelled AF86a
AF088a & AF088b
AF089a & AF089b
AF090a (extended) & AF090b

I'll see if I have any of the others in my physical disks collection.

Pitty I just seen this today. I've uploaded from AF50 to AF89b to the fileserver almost two years ago.

But as usual nice job prowler!

Of course they unpack. I've made them!

Hehe, thanks to you as well xpect

ElectroBlaster · 15 August 2010, 22:55

Hi guys. Just read the pm sent earlier. I defo adf'd those disks and I think they were also scanned aswell as they were in perfect condition. I cant remember exactly where I got them from but the seller had really looked after his/her stuff and I seem to remember them bundled with a wizard devolpments installation kit that had 10 or more disks.

This was done along time ago if I remember, will have to find them tho. Still have a catweasal mk4 so if anyone needed me to redo stuff to fill in corrupted bits I could do that

TCD · 15 August 2010, 22:59

Hi ElectroBlaster,

I think it's your collection that is hosted on AMR

If prowler manages to get the last disks 'ready', then we would only need something, if a disk is corrupted (for the subscriber disks that is).

ElectroBlaster · 15 August 2010, 23:14

Ok im looking on the amr but I cannot see the disk scans... I know I had adf'd everything but im sure I also scanned the disks aswell?

TCD · 15 August 2010, 23:17

No idea about the scans unfortunately. I'll ask someone from the AMR team if he knows anything about them

exoticaga · 15 August 2010, 23:20

Those subscriber disks are best replaced with adf versions.

I don't remember ever looking at them than packing them to dsq. Unknown about subscriber code never looked or did i, got them all from a boot sale.

There are some dsq Amiga User International floppy disks on the server. Good to see they are been replaced by the adf versions

TCD · 15 August 2010, 23:23

I guess when this one calms down, we might move on to the next mag...

davideo · 16 August 2010, 00:50

@TCD

The subscribers discs on the CD needed a password to unlock them as you already know. I believe the floppy had the same password.

Here's my part list cribbed from my own CDs and off here

Quote:

Cd No. Password
88 INSIST
90 CITRUS
92 23SKIDOO
93 BOROUGH
94 GRAPPA
95 BANDIT
96 JAPAN
97 TATOOINE
98 KRUGER
99 VELDI
100 CENTURY
101 ROOM
103 LLAMA
104 LUMBAR
105 HUMBUG
106 MEREDITH
107 INVEST
108 FORSALE
109 FLANTASTIC
110 HOMER
111 CIRCUS
112 BADGER
113 BIRTHDAY
114 MORSE
115 FRACTURE
116 ADIEU
117 MOUSE
118 CABLE
119 VOODOO
121 FORSAKEN
122 SCORPIO
123 CARTRIDGE
124 SCART
127 ADIOS

It would be nice if we could get the gaps filled in
