Re: Lost artworks by Andy Warhol found on 80s-era FLOPPY DISKS • The Register

Another BBC claim was "The recovery project was initially thwarted from viewing the actual images as the data was saved in an obscure format that modern Amiga emulators could not read" - but is that actually true? The associated report in PDF format suggests that it was an incorrect kickstart ROM version which was causing the initial viewing trouble on the real hardware; I know UAE at least allows loading of whatever kickstart image the user chooses, so I'm surprised that the GraphicCraft program couldn't be made to work there, too? cheers Jules
