This video details the efforts of a preservation effort dedicated to building an archive of Amiga abandonware, software, files and written content distributed on disks between 19851996. ARTICLE VERSION: https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.p...

The disks being archived include Amigaspecific Disk Magazines, User Group disks, Public Domain collections and standalone Shareware/Freeware. In the nearfuture an Abandonware section will also be added. If you have disks you wish to donate, contact me.

SPECIAL THANKS

● David Dunklee
This project would have never been possible (imo) without the brilliant hardware for the Amiga 1000 called the Parceiro, created by David Dunklee.
This device provides easily removable and transferable SD Micro storage between the Amiga and modern PCs/Macs. MORE INFO: https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.p...

Dunklee also wrote the software I used to create ADF files from original floppy disks, called Disk2ADF. (He also wrote ADF2Disk, so these files could be downloaded and written to physical floppy disks.) Both programs will be available for downloading from the Amiga Software Archive.

● Chris Brenner
Brenner's ingenious software "Disk Mimic" makes the loading of Amiga ADF files on the oldest of Amiga computers a total joy. This software will also be made available in the Archive. It can also be found on Aminet, and was added in 2021. RIP, Chris, I miss you.

● Many thanks to our awesome monthly Site Supporters and Channel Members for their support!!!

P.S.
I got a new mic and I'm learning the limits of its gain. It'll get better next time. I'm learning!
