ScuzzBlog: Diaries August 2017 Entry 14th August 2017: Post: 2 Warts and all [ diary entry ] If you have been reading the blog diary entries you will know that I have been steadily going through all the disks in the collection , cataloguing and numbering them all. I have now entered the next stage where I need to catalogue all the rogue disks in the collection. These are disks of questionable origin given that they came with computer collections and no doubt have various copies of software and games. They also are often in a poor state. To read these disks you kinda need a second generation Amiga as in the A500 running 1.3 and a disk drive that works but you are not too fussed about bunging up with crap. And so it was time to cobble together some old kit, warts and all , and prepare to venture onto the mountain that is cover disk heights. I started with a 500Plus and the GVP and then settled on the base 500 with a 590 running 1.3 [ see previous posts ] Slowly I have assembled all the kit and now have a working setup which I am comfortable with. Trouble is I kinda just now get distracted by playing the games. There are hundreds and hundreds of these disks. I have bundled them into piles depending on the quality of the disks. Also some large sets have the same hand writing on so are identifiable as by the same author. I like to keep sets together. I do have a very large plastic tub full of rejected disks. Most popular games that appear over and over... Desert Strike and Cannon Fodder plus Lemmings. Just saying. I make no apology for the yellow nature of the kit. It is old now and getting older. Always looks worse in photographs than it really is. I just never notice it to be honest. [ Images below for those interested ] First up the GVP with 2.1 Next a 2nd GVP with 1.3 Settled of a 590 with 2.1 Ready to take on the task The mountain of disks await Set up slowly takes shape 590 working Processing first set of disks Buffed up the mousemat Not very Sensible in truth Change of plan... moved in a 1.3 500 Found DynaBlaster Couldn't stop playing DynaBlaster.. Addictive A new day and ready to rock and roll A590 with 1.3 running a base A500 Swapped out mouse for original Sexy blue All set.. And so to the Mountain.
