+wood_jl Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 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!!!!!!!!

+wood_jl Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Just awesome. Your website looks great too, nice to see some of the old computers from the 70s. We need to keep the completion list on page 1 going, otherwise things might get confusing later on.

mariush Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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 ? 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exobuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You don't have the space or? I will continue to host them on my server(s) anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exobuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Where are the files in Other/ Other2/ from btw ? Seems to be some overlap at least with thumpnugget's scans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exobuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I found your reply regarding Other/Other2 - so some of the scans could be slightly modified versions of thumpnuggets' scanned and not different scans completely ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariush Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) 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.

LoTonah Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjennings Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 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): 198001 Byte Magazine January 1980 315.pdf 198002 Byte Magazine Februay 1980 233.pdf 198003 Byte Magazine March 1980 262.pdf 198004 Byte Magazine April 1980 289.pdf 198005 Byte Magazine May 1980 333.pdf 198006 Byte Magazine June 1980 261.pdf 198007 Byte Magazine July 1980 288.pdf 198008 Byte Magazine August 1980 285.pdf 198009 Byte Magazine Septembe 1980 363.pdf 198010 Byte Magazine October 1980.pdf 198011 Byte Magazine November1980 455.pdf 198012 Byte Magazine December 1980 390-391.pdf 198101 Byte Magazine January 1981 365.pdf 198102 Byte Magazine February 1981.pdf 198103 Byte Magazine March 1981.pdf 198104 Byte Magazine April 1981.pdf 198105 Byte Magazine May 1981.pdf 198106 Byte Magazine June 1981.pdf 198107 Byte Magazine July 1981.pdf 198108 Byte Magazine August 1981.pdf 198109 Byte Magazine September 1981.pdf 198110 Byte Magazine October 1981.pdf 198111 Byte Magazine November 1981.pdf 198112 Byte Magazine December 1981.pdf 198201 Byte Magazine January 1982.pdf 198202 Byte Magazine February 1982.pdf 198203 Byte Magazine March 1982.pdf 198204 Byte Magazine April 1982.pdf 198205 Byte Magazine May 1982.pdf 198206 Byte Magazine June 1982.pdf 198207 Byte Magazine July 1982.pdf 198208 Byte Magazine August 1982.pdf 198209 Byte Magazine September 1982.pdf 198210 Byte Magazine October 1982.pdf 198211 Byte Magazine November 1982.pdf 198212 Byte Magazine December 1982.pdf 198301 Byte Magazine January 1983.pdf 198302 Byte Magazine February 1983.pdf 198303 Byte Magazine March 1983.pdf 198304 Byte Magazine April 1983.pdf 198305 Byte Magazine May 1983.pdf 198306 Byte Magazine June 1983.pdf 198307 Byte Magazine July 1983.pdf 198308 Byte Magazine August 1983.pdf 198309 Byte Magazine September 1983.pdf 198310 Byte Magazine October 1983.pdf 198311 Byte Magazine November 1983.pdf 198312 Byte Magazine December 1983.pdf 198402 Byte Magazine February 1984.pdf 198403 Byte Magazine March 1984.pdf 198404 Byte Magazine April 1984.pdf 198405 Byte Magazine May 1984.pdf 198406 Byte Magazine June 1984.pdf 198407 Byte Magazine July 1984.pdf 198408 Byte Magazine August 1984.pdf 198409 Byte Magazine September 1984.pdf 198410 Byte Magazine October 1984.pdf 198411 Byte Magazine November1984.pdf 198412 Byte Magazine December 1984.pdf 198408 MicroSystems August 1984.pdf 198409 MicroSystems September 1984.pdf 198410 MicroSystems October 1984.pdf 198411 MicroSystems November 1984.pdf 198505 MicroSystems May 1985.pdf Has anyone else been able to download these or find them on another site?

Oasis Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm loving the old Byte Magazines, they are fantastic.
