A bunch of ATRs of Softside, Parrot, Linkline, Barcode Reader software

[+Allan]

Here are a bunch of ATRs of different 8-bit software. There are a few Softside Magazine programs, some Compute programs, the Parrot sound digitizer discs, the rare Bar code reader disks with contest entries that came form the company, and some other stuff. There were a couple of disks I couldn't save like Softside Issue #42, which had a bunch of errors on it. I don't know much about sector editing disks so I don't know if I can save it.

 

Enjoy.

 

Any questions, just ask.

Here's some pictures of my Parrot sound digitizer and rare Barcode scanner.

Ah, the Parrot. I had one of those.

Thank you for the disk images. Any new software for the collection is welcome. I saw a Parrot on e-bay recently.

I scanned the entire Parrot manual. If anybody wants it, let me know. It's big though. About 50 meg.

nice!

If anybody is interested I am willing to sell or trade my bar code reader and software. I'm mostly looking for disk drives but I might consider other 8-bit stuff as well.

What do you want for it?

[+Allan]

I've been think about it but can't really decide the value. I know it's extremely rare (never seen one before) plus the one I have has an additional disk and manual that was part of a contest they held. The disk has a number of entries to the contest.

 

Here's the whole set.

 

Short of a really good money offer I think I would like to use it for trade. I would love to have a Xff551 drive. I need a couple of more 1050's (I'm down to one working one).

Do you still have the Parrot disks?

If yes, then please make an image with your Kryoflux because they are protected with weak sectors and there seems to be no full dump on the net.

I am able to recreate a working ATX from your image but a real dump is preferable.
