voy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pigwa has been recently slightly refreshed. We've added a lot of books, schematics, mirrors, service manuals, photos and videos etc. We are still enlarging a collection of materials related to Atari computers. Pigwa has a changelog now. If you have something interesting in your collection, just let me now. [NOTICE: we're looking for CD #3 from Nir Dary's CD Collection! If you have this CD or its .ISO image, feel free to mail us!] If you want me to FTP the CTH site, I'll zip it up. Just let me know where to send it to. PM sent.

Roydea6 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 A LOT of the files in the CD1 archive are zero length files.....Name only.... no content... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Please give a link to the directory where are the zero-length entries. I'll see what I can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I received these files (both CD1 and CD2) from CharlieChaplin. He mentioned that there were read errors on CDs because of their age.I will try to contact Nir Dary and ask him to send the original files from his collection to our FTP server.

Well, simpy read this here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/220166-where-is-the-nir-dary-cd-collection/?do=findComment&comment=2897002 It was the best I could do with two defective CD`s: To rescue some data is better than nothing. However I have high hopes, that someone (or maybe Nir Dary himself) will upload the full-functioning / non-defective Nir Dary stuff. I could have deleted the "zero bytes" files, but I left them there, so everyone knows and sees that there was more data in several folders originally... -Andreas Koch.

+Guitarman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 OK. I have a folder called nir_dary_cds. I was comparing a bit with what is on Pigwa. It looks like there are a few folders on Pigwa that are not in what I have. I did a search for zero bytes files and found only 18. I will ZIP up and upload the folder so you can see what you need from it. At least you can recover some of the zero byte stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I merged your collection with a set from CharlieChaplin, so the current version is the most complete possible. I wrote to Nir via Facebook. I know he read my message but until now he does not replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I thought I had the 3rd CD but I was mistaken, it was Bo Sheurs Pool Disk 1 & 2. Odd thing for me about Nir's cd's is that while I started to download them a min ago I noticed an Email Addresses text which is as follows Paul Irvine mclane.dellos@cwcom.net Daniel (Creature) creature@atari.orgJon Melbo ssilicon@centurytel.netItay Chamiel itayc@hotmail.comRyan 'Gozar' Collins rlcolli@ibm.netOldrich oxid@email.czDerek Fern derek@fernhall.swinternet.co.uk I must have sent him stuff for the CD's back then along with the others I hope I did it by post, the phone bill would have been HUGE Edited January 14, 2014 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I can't find 2nd and 3rd disk of Nir Dary, but I made iso file from my Nir disk #1. Voy, can you send me pm with login and password to pigwa, then I try put it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 94-95 then. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yup, I think I was as well... The good old comp.sys.atari.8bit days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I udated Nir's collection from Sikor's copy. Turns out that Nir had released many versions of his collection over the years and sometimes they differed significantly.

Keatah Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Are there any fast mirrors of ftp.pigwa.net ? Or are there any atari ftp sites similar to Asmiov for Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Ad 1. Unfortunately not. Pigwa is one of a kind. However, we will welcome every person willing to host a Pigwa's mirror on his server. Ad 2. You can download a snapshot (95 GB) of our server which was done in November, 2013 by Archive.org maintainers. The archive is around 140GB at the moment.

Keatah Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Eventually my wife will set up some mirrors for the classic 8-bit machines. Perhaps she will select this site as one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 And now... ladies and gentlemen... We are pleased to announce that supposed to be 'lost forever' materials (like photos, videos etc.) are back on-line. Bon Appetit! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
