BYTE Magazine


Recommended Posts

SERIOUS thanks to someone for continuing in this BYTE effort!! BRAVO! Your efforts are not wasted; we LOVE this stuff, and you're preserving it for "eterniity."

 

 

I wonder what happened to Thumpnugget, and if he'll be back? I''ll always be grateful for his efforts.

 

 

My wish list (for these mag scans) includes Creative Computing (loved that) and, for the Atari ST, ST-Log (by the ANALOG Computing folks). Thumpnugget had a list of the ST-Logs he had - and was missing - and he had most of them in his possession. I wish I had the list. I'd contribute by perhaps buying some of the missing issues when they pop up on Ebay.

 

Thanks again to all who are sharing, here. I certainly hope that - at the very least - you take pleasure in being so helpful to others, and I submit to you that not only YOU ARE, but this stuff is REALLY appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!

I must continue to chime in with a HUGE THANK YOU!!! This is so much appreciated!!!!!!

 

 

 

If I may segue into some Atari-related material, being that this is AtariAge, and this is the BYTE thread, and I'm talking about Atari material in BYTE.

 

Thumpnugget previously posted (by request.....Thanks, Thumpnugget!) the "Atari Tutorials" by Chris Crawford. Only thing is, I don't know if we have them all, and it would be very cool to have - at the very least - the entire series of Crawford articles.

 

What I have so far is:

 

The Atari Tutorial - PART 1: The Display List - from: BYTE Vol 06-09 1981-09 Artifical Intelligence (September 1981)

The Atari Tutorial - PART 2: Graphics Indirection - from: BYTE Vol 06-10 1981-10 Local Networks (October 1981)

The Atari Tutorial - PART 3: Player-Missile Graphics - from: BYTE Vol 06-11 1981-11 Data Base Management Systems (November 1981)

The Atari Tutorial - PART 4: Display List Interrupts - from: BYTE Vol 06-12 1981-12 Computer Games (December 1981)

 

 

These have all been scanned and posted, previously. What I'd like to know is: Is this the totality of the Atari/Crawford articles, in BYTE? It would really be grand to have the set, for while I don't "get it all" it certainly helps, and the articles are wonderful material for any A8 enthusiast to at least attempt at understanding.

 

If not - and since some 1981 articles are being posted: Does the Jan 1982 issue continue this, or are they all done?

 

If anyone's really interested and doesn't have/can't find the issues, and someone else has a suggestion as to how I can share these (in case they don't have them) then I certainly will!!! But Yahoo's limited to 10MB messages (hard to imagine that used to be a common hard drive size) and these are something like 100MB to 170MB (depending, of course). Megaupload's gone. What works, anymore? Mediafire? Rapidshare? Someone have a page to post 'em on, or are they still hosted somewhere?

 

But once again, is this ALL of the Crawford/BYTE stuff?

 

Thanks a million for what you have done!!!

Yes, the Atari Tutorial continues!

 

January 1982: The Atarl Tutorial, Part 5: Scrolling by Chris Crawford

I will upload it in a day or so.

So I guess this thread is now dead... or maybe I missed some updates and the discussion moved on to another thread I don't know about ? :ponder:

 

I'm still getting people downloading from my ftp link but it's winding down. So unless there's going to be more posts, I'll probably remove the files from the server in a month or so (but I'll probably be able to give access to people on request to them)

No, it's not about space or bandwidth, but about lack of interest. Used to be several different ips downloading constantly, now it's usually just one every few hours. I figure in a month or so if there's no activity in this thread there wouldn't be any point to keep them online. It wasn't meant to be a permanent location anyway (you can see that in the URL) and I don't want it to get indexed in search engines and piss people off later when the url won't be valid anymore.

I already said the files will probably still be available on request even if I decide to disable the url, people will just have to pm me for the ftp account details.

 

The Other/Other 2 thing... those pdf files were scanned by someone else and were hosted on a rather unreliable site... I started to transfer them with some automated software but noticed several files got corrupted in the process due to the continuous connection resets of that server. This set was saved in "Other" folder.

A few days/weeks later, I actually managed to get in contact with a person that had his own copy of those pdf files, so he uploaded his files in the "Other 2" folder.

 

So if you see the same file with different file sizes in those two folders, one of them is corrupted - I just didn't have time to go through each one manually and check them.

Well *I'm* certainly interested in any new scans...but there hasn't been any. I had great hopes for this project--it'd be a great service to the classic computer community if it were finished--but Thumpnugget never came back, and except for a few individuals doing a few odd scans, there hasn't been any movement.

 

I would scan them myself, but the only issues of Byte that I own have already been converted by Thumpnugget!

First of all, thank you for the great work!

 

I posted on comp.os.cpm (google groups) that you were scanning Byte magazines, and it generated a little buzz.

 

http://groups.google...584919f944c289#

 

A member of the group, Enrico Lazzerini has also scanned a bunch of issues of Byte and Microcornucopia

 

http://maben.homeip....BYTE/index.html

http://enricolazzerini.interfree.it/

 

I have not succeeded in downloading an issue of Byte from his site - maybe you can get in touch with him and coordinated and/or help him load his scans to a better hosting service (rapidshare?). According to his post

 

i not have a mine ftp space big enough to contain all issues available on

maben web site that i slowly i downloaded during past time. If anybody has

an idea i'm ready to upload the following issues (about 30Gbytes):

Has anyone else been able to download these or find them on another site? I've tried several and can't download them. So far this is the only place I found that appears to have the 1982 issues containing the rest of The Atari Tutorials.

I'm loving the old Byte Magazines, they are fantastic. Does anyone have a definitive list of the scanned editions that are all ok and which ones are now required? Are there any sites that list the full list of Byte editions in total??
