Random Collection
Hi,
I have found a huge collection, a collection of collections, some adf rips from the owner, and a collection which is quiet big and needs some of the the disk sorters to take a quick look for any hidden / missing gems. There are DMS files, ADF files, there are lots of duplicates, there are TOSEC stuff, BBS stuff, stuff and old stuff from the old FTP? ... there is some warez. This is just a huge collection which has been built on for years ... unsorted. Does anyone have any ideas what to sort for? I dont want to just mass upload duplicates, and especially warez. If you want to take a look, and feedback here take a look in the uploads/Dozer folder. |

Dozer has just listed everything contained on the EAB File Server at various locations in a .TXT file...
Yes; all this needs to be sorted as I'm sure there are gems to be found |

Dozer isnt so familiar with TOSEC, as I mentioned its all unsorted.
I can get him to upload all and then let the master TOSEC people remove stuff as they see fit. Not sure if I can get his folder locked down, as dont want to be sharing something without it be checked first. I would have to have a word with Turran. Unless you have another idea? |

I'm an admin of the EAB File Server, the only thing in the "~Uploads/Dozer" directory is a text file named "amiga_stuff.txt". This is a file listing and points to various locations already on the EAB File Server |

Sorry, I thought you was saying there was something in his text you wanted.
So, nothing is wanted? |

Maybe letting a little bit of time to people would be a good idea ?
One hour ago you inform about having something and one hour later already ask if something is needed. And we are Sunday evening . Last edited by malko; 13 October 2019 at 20:59. Reason: typo |

Yeah of course...
Just wanted to make sure I understood DamienD. If someone in authority wanted a copy, I would ask Dozer to start uploading Ill wait until a decision is made / authorised by the admins here. Cheers |

...but I think you're missing the point sTe. Really hate to sound like a broken record but: The only file in the directory "~Uploads/Dozer" is a text file named "amiga_stuff.txt"... This is just a text file listing; and points to various locations already on the EAB File Server There's nothing for "Dozer to start uploading"; as it's already there on the EAB File Server... that's what needs to be sorted. |

Without no doubt it's really a big collection
But as DamienD said most of it is already on the eab file server Personally speaking i checked the txt file and there's nothing i'm really interested in |

./collections/Personal Collections/icycools_disk_archive_(non-tosec)/ I couldn't find it using the search tool. I also searched for "abel megademo" which is in the listing "amiga_stuff.txt" but shows no matches. The 'random aussie ADF archive*' files don't contain these files either. sTe, could you please upload this collection? |

All going well, STE should be uploading part of the Skid Row collection on Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, I personally hand delivered a box of disks to him in Mansfield so we can get them done quicker |

Great work guys! Leicester not too far either, depending on where you drove from, you may have gone past lol.
Is the collection being made into .ADF or some other format... only reason I'm asking is because DiskRipper could do them into .ADF but unless you're using KryoFlux for to dumps? |

I use Kryoflux for all of my sins
Its slow, and awful at error recovery. I can rip a disk in around 2mins15 seconds ... but the recovery is the bit that takes a while ... sometimes I have to give up, and leave that disk in my "bad" pile. I also do this in between being a carer for my Gran. So between the two, I get a few done here and there, but kryoflux is the pain ... for anyone who uses it, they know ... it was designed to preserve good and bad data and not designed to correct / fix sectors. For example ... I might read a track, and have 4 bad sectors and 7 good sectors, with a retry ... I might on the next read get 8 bad sectors, 3 good sectors. Kryoflux will keep the last read it preformed .... 7 good sectors would have been better than keeping 3 good sectors. I rip to RAW file, using RAW (-i0) / RAW with ADF (-0a -i5 or -i0 -i5) guidance .I keep a log file, and make sure cylinders 00-79 exist, and that they are all "Amiga DOS: OK". And then convert from RAW to ADF. All this is scripted, so working out the bad tracks, I can try and re-read to get a good track again. I also capture cylinders 00 -- 83... so incase we discover missing cylinders are need, I can convert to ADF again. This week I have some visitors ... so wont start imaging the next bunch again until next week. I have a Weasel board ... and I am hoping this can help out in imaging the disks to ADF... hoping to test this out sometime over the weekend. Failing that ... back to the trusty / problematic kryoflux Follow the post in the collections / skidrow ... that should let you know where the next files are. Quote:
