bfollowell Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I looked through, before I decided to post this, and couldn't find anything that seemed to be related. Many of us have been looking for/working on a complete set of Analog and Antic cover disk images for years. While not 100% complete, we have a pretty decent amount of them covered. I believe only a few stray Side 2 images are missing. I've been reading through a lot of my Antic PDFs recently and was reminded that they had a line of Antic Public Domain Library Disks. I have images of one or two of them, but there far many more that I've never seen other than in their catalog. Many of them must have been purchased at least a few times. It makes me wonder how many of them survive? Is anyone aware of an archive of these? I'm still working on a complete list of the original disks. I'm still working on it, but I'm attaching a list of the disks I know of so far. Again, this is just a list of the originally available disks; not what I have. If anyone is aware of an archive of them anywhere, please let me know. Otherwise, I'd like to start compiling images. If any of you have any, or come across any of them, please let me know and send them to me or attach a link or an image to this thread.

+Allan Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I don't think there is a place they are all together. I've archived a few of them. I will look for them in the next couple of days and post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have about 60 of them, and I do not have away ATM to make atr's as the laptop I used for SIO2PC died. I will check my old backup's and see if I made atr's back in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I spot checked the disks and they seem all ok , they were not the monthly magazine disks Just Antic's PD . Will try and buy a Fujinet to get from floppy to PC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Every disk copied with NO error's . Only Problem Might Be the numbering, as Lables fell off on a few, This means one Might say PD032.atr but could be PD036.atr, I Had no file listing to go by . 1-65 missing 1 or 2 in there , I kinda remember Antic may have skipped a couple .

bandit Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Just a Quick note, My old dos laptop died, I bought a fujinet, It is much faster than SIO2PC, which I have been using since 90's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Awesome! Thanks! I'll check them out soon. I have a pretty good listing of the numbering, so I could renumber as needed. I do seem to remember a few small gaps though, like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for doing this. Were these disks original disks with the Antic labels still on them or were they copied disks with someones handwriting on generic labels?

bandit Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 All disks Antic with red label, However All the PD disks from Antic were NOT WRITE PROTECTED. So I may have added or changed a couple things. I remember they had a good sale something like 10 for $10 maybe.. I will dig out my antic magazines, They had them many times for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of these definitely don't seem to be the original disks. When I say that, I don't mean that they didn't come from a disk that had an Antic label and may have originally came from Antic, but that the first two or three that I've checked have been modified. At the very least, most of the ones I've checked have some different DOS files and won't boot by themselves, there is no Autorun file and there is no menu program, which many of the Antic disks had. This seems to be mainly with the first few disks. Later ones I checked against the few that I'd already had seemed to match up perfectly. One other thing I noticed was that your disk #38, Kermit Terminal Emulator only had one side image, but the original was a double-sided disk which had the documentation on the second side. Would you mind double-checking your others to see if you have any others that are double-sided? Most of the actual programs appear to be there for the few modified disks and many of the images seem to come from unmodified disks. I'm sure the few that aren't will suffice until/if we can get some original, unmodified scans, and since that may never happen, this may be all that we ever get. Thank you for doing this @bandit. I really appreciate it. If anyone else ever comes across some original, unmodified copies of any of these, please scan them to atr and attach them to this thread.
