Marauding E$G/IBB pandora's 5 1/4 boxeS!
A long time ago I started to collect 64 progs&demos. THEY have been part of my life together with Amiga of an underworld full of friendship/wars/jealousy/pleasure & happyness a rush to be fast, to collect more & more, to be always updated, to prove your skill.
I did it full time, in multitaskin' (due to harware limitation I have many computers & drivers!). Then I slow down as the productions and the scene was goin' to disappear.
All the stuff I collected heap of 5 1/4 disks is still there!
I don't know if the bits&bytes survived the time.
After have spent part of my life readin' scrolls, hearin' nice tunez as many friends I've found here did, I never dropped the love for this machine.
So many asked me if I had some of my old disks, that's true all are there I suppose among 10000-15000! Many offered to convert the whole bunch but due to massive weight the sending costs in europe will be too high.
After many request, email, chat & so on I decided to proceed on my own.
This means slooooow conversion but who cares it's not a matter of time just a matter to have them all!
As I told you I traded a lot from 1985-1992, got contact with people met on magazines, scene and so on, then from '92 to '95 I got 'em mainly from boardz.
Today I have ordered the XM1541 cable, not fast for sure but the free space on my desk&house is very limitated so this was the startin' solution I will buy for sure a 1541 Ultimate in the future.
According to the lil' time I have, my daughter (3 and half years old) takes most of time, in the late evening I will start to transfer the disks.
I hope to receive soon the cable, I hope that 1541 chips will work, I hope to set all correctly. According to this I try to do something in febraury and I hope on the IDES of MARCH to share something! Great expectations.
-----------------------
Since I'm a beginner in the conversions even if I had collected progs & tools it would be nice to avoid errors or bad converions to know exactly what program to use in XP, if there are some fast/easy/useful tools to create a text file of the contents of the d64 images (like the one we find in SWASTI pack) let me know the name.
-----------------------
When the archives will be created I wish to share it zipped or rared on rapidshare service, I own a premium account there but if I'm not wrong in the past there where some problems. Let me know and maybe I will try to share it on other services.
Last words ... don't expect so much most of stuff is already out expecially the one of big cracks name, among the disks I will have for sure double, triple, n-ple disks exactly the same (maybe just the name in the bam change), I have usually left the disks in raw format, come as they got it, when I spread 'em I usually changed SPREAD by E$G/IBB or add some dirs. Maybe, since I traded with many americans, you will find some educational or utility not here or in collections or minor groups cracks.
-------------------------
If it will find useful I can put in the notes (if written on the envelope who sent me the disks) i.e. Twilight of TRIAD. I won't waste time adding notes about singular traders with no handle or group i.e. Peter from WIESBADEN - GERMANY
That's all folks ... stay tuned next months for more infos & some sharing ....

ps I wish to greet all my contacts & friends, all the ones shared their archives or updated the CSDb but overall those people who pushed me to start the conversions or offered themselves to do it!

Here we go again with package no.2.
Few errors are on the disks of course, I put the retry to 50 times, since some disks are not cut to use it on both sides (I've modified the control on my old 1541) it happens that some b sides are really empty but I did it anyway.
I've used NIBTOOLS 0.55. The files generated .nib were converted to D64 & G64 in other 2 separated archives.
So choose among the 3 archives what you prefere & enjoY.
You can find also 2 different contents lists generated with 2 diff progs.
I've add also a list with the people who I traded with and supplied that disks.
The nib version includes also the log.
All the work was done with XAP 1541 cable and 1541-II in serial+parallel mode.
