ThumpNugget Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi people.. Sorry for the delay last week.. There will be two this week (next two days) and it looks like two per week for the next six weeks.. One of the two I chopped up today had a Tiny Pascal article in it (I think part one)...

Great photos of graphics with UCSD pascal, Exidy's generating color graphics, Compucolor 3, a micro mouse running a maze, RCA Cosmac graphics expansion, and a voice controlled music synthesizer. Several articles on the math behind computer graphics... Clearly they did not learn the way student today do - just drag the circle icon into your code window the click on the parameters.. sheesh!

Dan Thank you much sir! The magazine is all fixed and looking good now The link had been changed to point to the updated magazine.. I also had the name wrong on the filename (1979 instead of 1978) so if anyone is saving these to a directory make sure to delete the previous one.

Bill Loguidice Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just reading this issue, basically is was not Activision being the world's first independent developer and distributor of video games, but Scelbi: Activision was the first on consoles. No one ever said on computers. Naturally there were several on computers prior to Activision, including famous ones like Adventure International.

mariush Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) ThumpNugget, I don't see much usage on the ftp mirror I offered... got maybe 10-15 users downloading the set. If you think it will help, you may make the link clickable - maybe people are too lazy to edit the url and abuse the other mirrors. Maybe you should also mention on each new pdf's post the mirrors as I doubt people that just come from search engines would go to the first post to find about mirrors.

The quality of the scans is excellent - you did an outstanding job and I appreciate that they are in color. I look forward to downloading more issues as they become available!

I'll do that as soon as I finish replying. I appreciate all the help you guys have given here I think since during most of February there were only a few mags that traffic has died down... I've had a bit of insomnia this past few days so I put some time into extra scanning - there should be four mags this week including two large ones (about a gig total in size - 1500 or so pages). Traffic might pick up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you are certainly scanning them faster than I can read em :-) your ongoing efforts are much appreciated just to note, all mirrors are now included in the files.exotica.org.uk redirector, so you might want to list that first.

Oh I like the big issues! The early issues are great but I just have a thing for the 81-86 issues.. So I made a statement a couple months back with another 86 issue that it was the only time an Atari made the cover.. There is an Atari ST on the cover here so obviously I was wrong This issues feature is the Motorola 68000 processor and the machines that used it. The articles were all excellent but for me what made this issue was the reviews: A Franklin Ace, Turbo Prolog, Leading Edge, Xerox 6060.. WordPerfect! Sweet! The article on CRCs was a close second! Make sure to read the Microbytes about the a Terabyte optical disk!

vk2tds Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ThumpNugget: Thanks for all this. I have a heap of BYTE magazines mostly from the 1980's that you can slice and cut if needed. I would offer to scan these myself for you by my sheet feed Fujitsu really needs replacing after having done 100,000 pages or so! But I can certainly ship you the BYTE magazines from here in Oz if needed at my cost. Why have I done 100,000 pages? Well, I have scanned most of issues of Electronics Australia and ETI and a number of other magazines from the mid-1970's onwards in TIFF monochrome format. Not as nice as the PDF's of BYTE but readable and since I started in the 1990's disk space was an issue. But I have issues here if people need them - distributing the full collection is an issue since there is a copyright holder, at least at the moment Darryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Darryl: I have ancient ETI magazines too (I got mine for free from a kind neighbor when I was a child in Eastern Canada)!! Late 1970s/early 80s stuff - those made sense to scan in b/w since there was little/no colour in the magazines themselves. Ah memories - I recall the funny subscription ads they ran, as well as articles written by Steve Rimmer. If there exist pdf copies of these, I'd love to get my hands on them. ThumpNugget: You totally rule. Thanks again for placing such a great resource on the web. Oh, and more 1980s Bytes please ThumpNugget: Thanks for all this.

Here is what is missing up through 1986: Vol 4: 10,11,12 Vol 6: 6,7,11 Vol 7: 1,2,5,8,9,10 Vol 8: 1,3,4,6,7,11 Vol 9: 8,10,12 Vol 10: 2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12 Vol 11: 11 Might be a bit pricey from your side of the world I am also wondering how much longer my current scanner is going to last.. So far the worst it has given me is some wierd sounds while scanning but still running like a champ (not a single paper jam since returning from vacation - over 2000 pages). Have you tought of converting those tiffs to pdfs for future distribution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk2tds Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 OK... I have just checked my list, and here is what I have that you are missing, to the end of volume 11... Vol 6: 7/June 11/Nov Vol 7: 5/May 8/Aug 10/Oct Vol 8: 3/Mar 4/Apr 7/Jul 11/Nov Vol 9: 12/Nov 10/Sep Vol 10: 2/Feb 3/Mar 4/Apr 5/May 6/June 7/Jul 10/Oct 12/Nov [Note: Vol 10 has 13 issues...][February does not have a front cover] This should be 19 issues. If you don't need them quickly I can ship them via sea mail and they should get there in about three months I am guessing. No use wasting money on air mail if they are just going to sit on a table at your end. Up to you really... And do we need to be looking for a new scanner for you :-) Or at least find you some sewing machine oil for some of the bearings and gears Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
