Looking for disk dumpers
As the post states, I'm looking for people from around the globe that have both the time, hardware and experience to dump old disks to d64 images. I know there are some old topics on this but I'm looking to compile a "current" list for an upcoming project.
If you have the spare time to dump disks, I just need your general location around the world to get an idea of the coverage we'll have should this idea get off the ground. I know there are a lot of people out there sitting on disks with absolutely no time to dump them so I'm hoping this may help get the Treasure Chest overflowing again ;)
Thanks!

Ultimate-II+ and 1541-II here in Australia.
I also have a 1541-II with it's guts ripped out if I need to spin-clean dirty and mouldy floppies to get them loading again.
I have zoom floppy as well with a 1541, but I can't get it to work to make NIBs though. I should have another look at it.
I can also dump tapes. |

Thanks to everyone for their offers thus far. Not a bad start and it's still very early on. I mapped out the coverage quickly on Google Maps just to give you a visual idea. I would love to see more submissions, especially from folks in the US/Canada. As expected, a good part of Europe has pretty good coverage but could still use more so keep responding if you can help. The general goal is to match up disks/tapes with the nearest person to the source location. I'm sure there will be instances where we may have a batch of disks/tapes in really bad shape which then may need to travel a little further to somebody with the expertise on the proper cleaning method of said media.
Still looking for some folks in Asia, South America and possibly Africa?
Italy, Spain, France, Austria etc would be nice to fill in as well.
Here's the map so far

If you see a hole you can plug and have the means and time to plug it :P ... on the map ... please respond here and I'll get you added.
Thanks all!

Sure, I have an Ultimate II and a few 1541s that don't see enough action - also in the Netherlands (southeast) |

It's better than nothing with a Ultimate etc, but if you guys are interested in many rereads and good dumps invest in a IECHost or run Warpcopy, or even the ZoomFloppy or XUM. With Sailor's tools it's good shit. |

I do use Warpcopy with my 1541 Ultimate, as it's the version with Ethernet built in |

Funny as I happen to be in NC myself. ;)
I have Zoom Floppy, SuperCardPro, Greaseweazel, and also a Kryoflux(currently loaned out). So I'm good for almost anything. :) |
