AMP, with the help of some friends, is gathering all demoscene material so that it doesn't with the floppies. As you might have experienced, most floppies start having read/write errors after something like 10 to 15 years. We are now in a critical period as many badly spread scene releases vanish with the floppies on which they were copied. Without your help many demos will be lost forever and never find their way to preservation.

First of all, a warning: whole Debian GNU/Linux is way too large to be installed from media as small as a standard 1.44MB floppy disk - you may not find installing from floppies a very pleasant experience. Copy the Debian packages onto formatted floppy disks. Either a DOS, the native Linux "ext2", or the "minix" format will do; one just has to use a mount command appropriate to the floppy being used.

Do I need to provid gas auto shut-off valve before on the market? Which city or county required gas auto shut-off valve?

This is required to get permit and Health Dept. approval to replace the septit tank.

You bet we are! If you have taken or collected photos of Amiga musicians (maybe coming from some glorious demo parties) please send them to us at once. It eases our work if you rename them with the handle of each musician: "Chromag.JPG", "Virgill.GIF", etc. If some of your pictures contain several persons please try as much as possible to cut them so that you get one musician per picture.

Open an existing IMA file, or create a new IMA file. Browse into the IMA file inside an Explorer Window and use the "Run Tool" link or submenu. If you cannot create/open IMA files, re-install CompreXX and make sure you select the "WinImage Archives " plugin.

Open the menu with available drives (Alt+F1/F2) and open the context menu for the desired floppy disk drive (click the right mouse button or use Shift+F10 key). You can choose "Format..." or "Copy Disk..." from this menu.

Floppy Disks are extremely unreliable! Many students have lost essays and class projects as a result of a failing floppy disk. Don't let this happen to you! If you must use a floppy disk, make at least two back-up disks. Always create more than one copy of your files, and save them in multiple locations (or e-mail the file to yourself) Print out a hard copy of your document. In the event of floppy disk damage, you will still have the printed copy to work from. Beware of viruses.

Our software is too big to fit onto a floppy disk. Arrangements can be made on a case by case basis for a CD to be sent via post.

Of course you can. Please send the original Amiga disks by snail mail or a disk image (DMS or ADF) by e-mail to Crown. All submitted material will be returned to you!

Select the files you want to archive in an Explorer window, and right click the selection. Choose "Compress...". Check the archive types you want to create, then click "Settings". In the "Settings" window(s) that appear, specify that you want to enable spanning onto floppy disks. All future archives you create will be spanned, until you disable this setting. Click "Details".

Because Biblioscape database tables have fixed length records, the database files are very large. But if you compress the files, a 10 MB database can easily fit onto a single floppy disk. For this you need zip software; we recommend using WinZip (www.winzip.com). Run WinZip, click on the "New" button. Select the floppy drive and give a zip file name. Click on the "Add" button and go to the directory where your Biblioscape database files are located.

No. Due to the success of the annual Experience Pakistan competition and the amount of entries we are now receiving every year, we can now only accept entries on CD's. Any entries recieved by email or on floppy disks will be disqualified.

The following instructions assume that you created the backup using WinZip software as mentioned above. Insert the last floppy disk of the set in your floppy disk drive and open the zip file on this floppy disk corresponding to TaalMala installation using WinZip software. After you have unzipped the installation package, use the original serial number and registration code provided to you for installation. If you have any problems, contact us.

Because it doesn't work yet. RedSquirrel is a Win32 application and as such is restricted to using the Win32 API. Windows doesn't support anything other than 512byte blocks on floppy/hard disks and Acorn disks use 1024 byte blocks. There are two ways around this, neither are pretty and neither work under Windows 2000. I had a half hearted attempt at writing a VXD to give me bios access but it hasn't been entirely successful. I will try again soon.

Yes (Windows 2000 or later), make sure you read the floppy disk using the "emergency" mode and that you check the option in the settings to "recreate bad sectors" before you write the image file back to your new floppy disk. Some floppy disks use protection schemes that do not rely on bad sectors and might not work with Floppy Image.

Yes (Windows 2000 and later), make sure that you are using HD (High Density) floppy disks when you recreate the floppy disk.

We have all been active in the Amiga scene for quite a while now, some of us as early as 1988. So we won't take as an offence to be called "oldschoolers". If you are interested we can reveal that we have been members of such groups as Cryptoburners, Paradox, Analog, Depth...

Seriously, I really feel for people who are in this situation. Unfortunately, I can't help them all that much. Here in the US I could actually be prosecuted for "corrupting the morals of a minor" if I talk about anything explicitly sexual with someone under 18. If I know your age, I'm stuck. Anyone who does know that you're underage and still wants to talk about sexuality should be treated with suspicion.
