sparkdrummer Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to send the set of disks for Maverick 5.03. I have some original game disks that I'd like to make copies of so I don't ruin the originals. -Ralph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 If you have a way of making real disks from them, I am pretty certain you can find Maverick D64s in TOSEC. If not, I can help out if you can wait until this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hey thanks pal. I can wait. I'm kinda new to the c64 scene even though I've owned one since the 90's. lemme know what I owe ya. Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well, you do not owe me anything just yet. I was unable to locate my Maverick disks today. Hell, I could not even find my MSD-2s of which I have two. One of them has the fast-copy ROMs and the other is slated for JiffyDOS once I put it back in service. I will be searching throughout the week. I will PM you once I find everything you need unless someone else can jump in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hooray! Okay, so I found my Maverick disks, my keyboard, and my 512k REU. I still have not found my MSDs. From the paperwork with the disks these appear to be v5.04. I will make copies this weekend, hopefully after finding my disk notcher for the two-sided disks. BTW, I also have Kracker Jax, but I am not certain what version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 That's good news. I'll take whatever you might want to send my way. Just want to back up my originals so I don't screw them up by using them. Thanks again! -Ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Not going to affect me in the long run, but tonight I discovered -- by accident -- that my customized CP/M boot disk has mold on it. Now I have heads with gunk and three scraped up disks (one intentionally for confirmation.) Fortunately these disks can be replaced (or recovered, as the confirmation disk formatted fine on another system.) UGH! Anyway, I swear I have a 5.25" head cleaning disk around here somewhere but damn if I can find it. I will have to crack the 128D open and clean the heads manually, as well as clean the bad disk before I use it, again. Remember, kids: closely scrutinize old disks before using them.

+sm3 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You know about ZoomFloopy right? If you still like to use real disks (like me) this is a great piece of hardware. Allows you to recreate a disk from the various formats that are available. http://store.go4retro.com/zoomfloppy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Wow. That is a cool looking device! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sm3 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Wow. That is a cool looking device! Great price too in my opinion. Here is a bit more information and a video from Jim Brain (runs that RETRO Innovations store) about it: http://www.go4retro.com/products/zoomfloppy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 That is less expensive than the XU1541 device with enclosure by about $10. Heading out to storage here in a little bit to sort out the rest of the hardware for today's activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
