Is anyone still imaging mass amounts of disks?
Heyas
I remember people were imaging disks to d64s a while back (acidchild perhaps?) in an effort to collect every conceivable release.
Bo Zimmerman (on my FB) says he has thousands of inherited disks that need imaging..... anyone interested? |

If Zimmerman want the community to have access to the images after you are finished, will you share, Acidchild? |

ofcourse, if someone tells me that i should share his collection i will do it ofcourse, but often there are internal files included, which the owner doesn't want to get spread, then ofcourse they won't be shared! |

Of course. That is the standard. I often ask the person in question to check through the d64:s, and send back a "cleaned" batch that can be shared with the community. |

Far better idea to find someone on this side of the ocean because of shipping concerns ... |

Well that guy was me at one time. I imaged several thousand of my the disks and posted a couple of batches to scene base. However 2 moves, a divorce, and loss of my vision curtailed my archiving of the Zimmerman/page collection. There is a small write-up on scebebase.org. I still archive and post images collections periodically. I'm still interested in archiving disks, but I guess I bit off more than I could chew. Anyways. Demongerx/style |

There's currently over 2400 disk images between the 3sets of disks that I'd already archived at scenebase.org |

I still have a shitload of images that I haven't shared yet, partly from Charles Deenen's collection (don't get your hopes high, there's not much fascinating to be found).
And at this moment Hammerfist's collection is going through my setup.
He'll do the uploading himself, so for now no sharing of these images. |

Awesome to see/read many are "preserving" floppies into diskimages. I am doing this all the time and well I have great experience and knowledge doing this too. So if you need help I am all yours. |

Xiny6581 and all who are interested in, I'm doing the same thing, using RR-Net MK1 & MK3 with Warp Copy and header cleaning techinques. So if anyone is interested to send me his disks to archieve them on pc as D64 images, please feel free and I do send them back. I live in Leverkusen, close to cologne / Germany. |

And I do the same. RRnet and Warpcopy, with cleaning of disks and so on. I live in southern Sweden. I share all images publically after asking the owner of course. All auction disks I buy end up in public. Still have a couple of hundreds to upload. |
