Atari 8-bit Software Preservation Initiative
Timothy Kline replied to Farb's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I don't love or hate 7ZIP myself, as I use ZIP for everything still-- after all these years. However, the previous archive I used ZIP and some people ran into issues with extraction or the checksum didn't match. This morning, when I prepped the archive for hosting I noticed that ZIP warned me about some of the filenames using unusual/foreign ASCII characters. So, rather than run into the same issue this time, I bothered with installing 7ZIP and then used it to compile the torrent into a ZIP. *NOTE* I saved it as a ZIP rather than the (proprietary?) 7ZIP format. Hope that helps. --Tim An Atari owner -

Now also available in non-torrent format: https://atari-cellar.net/Atari 8-Bit Preservation Archives/ NOTE: 7ZIP was used this time to archive the torrent into a single ZIP file. Hopefully this avoids issues that some people experienced last time. No other changes/alterations have been made. Thank you, @Farb for continuing this amazing archival project! --Tim An Atari owner -

Again, VERY sorry for the snafu with OwnCloud and issue with 500mb limitations. Let's make this MUCH easier: https://atari-cellar.net/Atari 8-Bit Preservation Archives/ -

Unfortunately, I cannot edit/remove the link until I can correct the issue this evening. If any mods see this, though, would you remove the link for now? I hate thinking of all the fails that happen between now and this evening for people. --Tim -

Doh! I'm very new with using OwnCloud, so I appreciate your heads-up on the error and I'll check on how to fix it when I get home this evening. --Tim -

For anyone who prefers to download apart from torrent, the latest A8Preservation file is available at this link: https://atari-cellar.net/index.php/s/MRjHAoV4W2DP6y3 Notes: * The torrent was 7zipped into a single archive. * The torrent file is also available at this link. * I formerly hosted the latest release of a8preservation at atari-owner.com in a subfolder, but have since moved those files to the Atari-Cellar. -

Hmm. I just double-checked here and I am not getting any CRC errors from the downloaded file. I'm using Total Commander's built-in ZIP/UNZIP feature to extract the contents of the file linked originally upon release, as well as the downloaded copy. File sizes match, as well. There was nothing more done on my part than download the file from Mega, and then drop it onto the mirror folder at Atari-Owner.com, grab the direct link, and post that the mirror was available. --Tim -

As always, the latest official preservation archive can be found mirrored at the URL below for Atari enthusiasts and collectors— once the new archive is released, I'll update it on Atari-Owner.com as well: https://atari-owner.com/fun/atari-preserved-software/ --Tim -
I restored the file, @hunmanik and verified the link works again. --Tim

I had the same issue with Mega when I was sourcing down the file for hosting on Atari-Owner, so thank you for re-posting the link to the folder, @firebottle (I was going to, but company showed up at my house earlier). And HUGE THANKS to the Atari Owners who continue to compile and archive the Preservation collection!! -

Here is the collection from Allan, according to how I filed it here in my archive, so it's either available via Archive.org, or he had shared it here on AA, but I added it to my archives here in late May of this year. Credit goes to @Allan for his perseverance in getting all of this software up on Archive.org! --Tim C&T ComputerActive (Allan).zip Found a link for you at Archive.org: C & T ComputerActive -
ANALOG Magazine Disk (image) #31 (06/85)
Timothy Kline replied to rost's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
At the risk of sounding like a necro-filer here, given it's been just over 9 years since you asked, @Allan, did you ever find this? If not, I'll pull my ANALOG disk collection and image it up if it's in there. --Tim -

SuperCard Pro check media failures
Timothy Kline replied to cwilbar's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I recently went with the SuperCard Pro option since the Kryoflux continues to be blocked for shipping to the USA, and I'd been using a TEAC FD-55GFR with a previous floppy capture device-- but I didn't see it mentioned in the list here. Should I expect any problems, and are there any specifics I need to be made aware of before I return to disk archiving, this time with the SCP? So far, someone noted to read to 41 for extra information, but is there anything else? Thanks, in advance, --Tim -
*New* pictures of our Atari 8-bit setups
Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Yeah, not to mention the racism of the place as well as the sexual harassment I had to see the women put up with (who didn't quit the place). Bygones. Bygones. --Tim -
*New* pictures of our Atari 8-bit setups
Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
This is interesting... Alright, so as I mentioned, the specific MIDIMate II package might not have its manual (I'm going to assume no at this point) but... In one of the MIDIMate III packages there IS a MIDIMate II manual with the MIDIMate III Addendum for the 130XE release... whereas the other MIDIMate III package has a spiral-bound manual specific to the III. --Tim -

*New* pictures of our Atari 8-bit setups
Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I must've been typing up an edit of my post... but the only one that doesn't seem to have docs/manual is the MIDIMate II box/case. . . just the original disk for MIDIMate II. I have the original manuals/docs/disks for the MIDIMate III set, however. Hope that was less confusing? --Tim -
*New* pictures of our Atari 8-bit setups
Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Hey there, @Allan, The three larger boxes (one was mistakenly inside the storage cabinet) are their MidiMate packages (2 x MIDIMate III, 1 x MIDIMate II), and the smaller but similarly-styled case is their MidiPatch. I haven't made it to the sound apps yet (I had adopted a compatible Casio keyboard to go-with for when I finally do), but a brief glance just now and it looks like (not counting the included MidiMate devices themselves) the manuals and floppies are present and accounted for. I believe I have maybe 3 more orphaned (no case, no docs, no discs) MidiMate devices, too, but those I keep in a storage drawer. --Tim Addendum: The MIDIMate II is lacking the manual/docs but I might have put them in my file cabinet with all the other documentation I've accumulated. But maybe not. I'm still in the process of inventorying everything, believe it or not! /facepalm -
*New* pictures of our Atari 8-bit setups
Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'm just happy that I had the disposable income at the time to build the collection and workstation to where it stands, because a year ago March that all ended when I lost my job of 10 years-- bringing to a close the EBay and Goodwill Stores hunting and adopting of Atari items. My first sacrifice was rehoming my "50 Shades of Yellow" 1200XL collection to two very kind and generous Atari-Agers in order to have some emergency funds while I sorted out what to do after being shown the door by my employer for asking that a workplace bully be redressed. The stress of that whole situation took a pretty hefty toll on my health over the previous six years to the point where the doctors were warning me I was headed for a heart attack. I finally put my foot down and so the company did, too. The co-owner's son's still there, still being enabled... but I'm slowly on the mend. This is my dream collection at this point, and I'm more than content with it and appreciate it because the time may come when I'll need to rehome it, too. --Tim -

Timothy Kline replied to TapperP's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Great setups! I only have a few pictures of my original Atari system (one is below), before I parted with everything except my then-limited Atari books collection (Compute! books only) and was unceremoniously sucked into the PC and Microsoft vortex... A few years ago, burned out from the PC life, I decided I needed Atari back in my life and— apart from a boatload of Atari gear NOT pictured that I have in storage right now— here's where things stand currently with my 1200XL workstation and accompanying collection... ________ ________- 184 replies
