It depends if its orginal programs with protection or its cracked copies. If you want to backup orginals you`ll have to use a warper, it reads the raw MFM data of the tracks and stores that. Otherwise just download http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/util/sys/Dev-Handler.lha and install it, after you have mountet DEV: you can do a simple copy dev:df0 dh0:MyGame.adf, it will now make a sector image of the floppy that you can use with UAE and it is easy to transfere it back to a disk. Or get http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/disk/misc/adfblitzer.lha it is the same, just it has a gui.

They come with NE2000 drivers (along with other, non-NIC drivers) but there are also SMC/WesternDigital drivers on the web page (http://penguincentral.com/GG2/) I've mentioned it before to no great response, but I like to let people know there's still an alternative out there. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Moonraker MAC card & car full of MAC stuff -- help me identify....

by claudew＠sprint.ca

Hi I got a "all you can fill your car full of MAC stuff for $20" from a MAC shop that closed and had to vacate premises... Several cards I cant identify. I am no mac expert. Who can volunteer to receive some pics of some of these to help me sort these out? Anyway....Picked up several compact MACs (12), some original 128/512 keyboards, lot of Supermac video cards, IIsi, some non 10 year old stuff (quadras etc...), network cards for compact macs (?)etc...could of taken more, got tired and basement just so big...lots ethernet cards for II series macs (bnc)...some cards i have no idea (well a bit but...) what they do... An interesting one in there is a Moonraker card (1989-1990) seems to be nu bus card for video capture -- curious to get more info on this one...I think it was made by a company called WTI or something...anybody know more about this one or wheer I can get the software perhaps for it...? I looked around a bit on net but found close to nothing... Thanks for reading Claude

Why is it that ...

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

From: Tony Duell <ard(a)p850ug1.demon.co.uk> >There was certainly a PDP11 version. And I remember reading about a I know, the first time I'd seen it was early '78 on a Heath H-11. It convinced me to get the NS* configured version (not cpm based) as it was cheap. In 1978 what UCSD got me... I had NS DOS and their BASIC, no compiler, no asembler. I has CP/M 1.4 with all the 8080 tools and 8k MSbasic, still no HLL UCSD got me a compiled language that was vogue and a real screen based editor that beat the tar out of CP/Ms ED. By 1978 standards 50US dollars was cheap for UCSD and far cheaper than CP/M or even the MSbasic for CP/M. Allison

I have a KS10 now...

by DSEAGRAV＠toad.xkl.com

Serial number appears to be 4469. I got it from John Wilson, moved it 1000 miles to home. It looks too heavy to drag up the stairs so chances are really good it'll stay in the (heated) garage. We also got a TU45 and a spare formatter for it. (Question, can I just plug any Pertec Unformatted 1600/800 drive into that and make it work, or only special Pertec devices?) Current status of the machine is unknown - It's never been powered on. We'll be cleaning it up, taking lots of pictures, and checking things out before it gets powered on. But that should be sometime soon. In any case, I'll have pictures posted before the week's out. And now, I'm going to do a jig and generally behave like a child until the high wears off :) More information to come. -------

Memory diagnostic for VAX 4000/60

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

Does anyone know if there is a better memory diagnostic for the VAX 4000/60 than the 'TEST MEM' that is available in the console program? I've got some 16MB simms and they seem to work (the VAX shows them, boots up after running its temperature bar test) but something that gave me real confidence would be nice. --Chuck

Archiving Amiga floppies

by jfoust＠threedee.com

I'd like to archive my massive collection of Amiga floppies. I have tubs and tubs of them. I'd like to end up with CD-Rs of them, containing disk images accessible under emulation or that could re-create floppies on demand. I'm so out of touch with what's possible on the Amiga, I don't know which tool would best handle the job. Considerations in mind include reasonable handling of bad sectors or other sorts of semi-readable floppies. I doubt I have much that's actually copy-protected. It would be great to be able to get directory listings of these disk images, so I could create a master list of all the files there. My A2000/040 is still up and running, and I even have an Ethernet card capable of running NFS, so I can save files directly to my PC's drive (running an NFS server.) >From there I can burn CDs. (Historical note: back in 1993, I even created ISO images on an Amiga, saved them to Exabyte, and had them burned to real glass-master pressed CDs.) - John

UCSD PASCAL (P-system) P-code Was:(Why is it that ...)
