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.
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.

This reminds me - does anyone here have an ethernet card that would work
in an Amiga 2000? I've got one I'd like to put on the 'net.
Thanks.

Sorry, Gene, I don't have any spares, but I can recommend a very good one,
the X-Surf, which is still being produced. Some specs:
- 10Base2 and 10Base-T supported
- 20MBit transfer rate (fullduplex, twisted-pair only)
- compatible with Miami, Genesis, AmiTCP and all TCP/IP Stacks that can
access a Sana-2 driver
- Sana-2 driver included, NetBSD driver available in the latest
distribution
- two clockports for A1200 expansions such as Silversurfer and Hypercom
- two IDE ports 3,5" and 2,5" for harddisks and CD-Roms can be activated by
the IDE-fix Software
Available from Software Hut (www.softhut.com) for around $140 US. And that
price is extremely reasonable, given that old A2065s and ASDG Lanrovers
routinely fetch $60-75 on eBay. Newer Ethernet cards like the Ariadne II
sell for $100 or more.
Regards,
Mark.

Not that I know a lot about the Amiga, but don't some come with ISA slots?
If so, maybe a jumperable NE2000 clone might work on the cheap?

The problem is, that Commodore through their usual sense of C-branded logic
chose not to activate the ISA slots (In fact, I think it wans't all that bad,
since there probably would never have been any Zorro boards if ISA were widely
available), requiring boards such as the GoldenGate2. A mate at the usergroup
uses such a board along with an NE2000 ISA card. There is also a driver for
3Com boards using the GoldenGate.

The last time I checked, Amiga ethernet cards were quite expensive still,
though things could've changed in a year since I moved off an Amiga 4000 to
my Power Mac clone. If you have a bridgeboard though and a PC ISA ethernet
card, there used to be a couple of programs on Aminet that would allow you
to access the ISA ethernet card from the Amiga side. It was a bit of a
kludge, but was reported to have worked.

Hmmm. I missed the beginning of this conversation so I'm not sure how it got
started. Amiga Ethernet cards are known for being wildly expensive. The UK
company, Eyetech sell the Surf-XS card that appears reasonable.
SURF-XS Zorro card
Sana-II Ethernet card with UTP/BNC connectors, 2x dual IDE ports (requires
IDEfix 2000), 2x clock ports, GoldSurfer 2xS+1xP connector

Ironically, A1200 have a greater range of options. It can use a limited
range of PCMCIA cards and can be expanded with the Mediator PCI board to
take advantage of off-the-shelf hardware.

There is a silly little solution if you can't afford a Zorro Ethernet card,
but have got a PC bridgeboard. It uses the bridgeboard emulator as a bridge to
an ISA ethernet card (preferably 8-bit if you've only got an A2088), running a
CRYBWR DOS packet driver on the emulator which in turn communicates through
the Hydra device to a SANA-2 driver on the Amiga side. Terribly slow (at least
unless you've got a 386 or 486 bridgeboard). There are two such devices on
Aminet, but avoid the Turkish one. =)

I'll maybe do a giraffe/milk/fridge game for this
year's CSSCGC.
That'd be good. Yes.

All the thrills and 'spills' are here as you manoeuvre the milk and lure
the lactophobic animal around a kitchen packed with hazards!

Unfortunately, I don't have a bridgeboard either. :(

New subject: Interesting Book
It has been a while since I've seen books listed that people think are
pretty good. I found the 1976 edition of Encyclopedia of Computer Science
edited by Anthony Ralston while doing some cleaning. It has quite a bit of
interesting information as well as a few pictures of equipment from that
era. A quick search on Ebay showed two copies, one currently at about $7.00,
and a second one (3rd edition) that sold for about $60.00. A search of ABE
showed the average price to be about $30 or so with the least expensive
(that I saw anyway) for about $7.50.
