ScuzzBlog: Diaries 2018 March 06: Entry 1803: scuzzblog: Post: 1 Aminet If you are an Amiga user it is unlikely that you have not had reason at some time to use the vast Aminet archive. It is a credit to the Amiga community that so many have chosen to upload their work so that others can benefit from it. Whenever I have gotten stuck for a file or program I have always clicked the Aminet icon on my desktop and zonked over to the archive for help. And they never fail to provide just what I need. The archive is quite massive, and if you are not minded to search the online database you can always find files on special CDs created. These often appear on Ebay. Additionally most Amiga users probably have a vast resource of Aminet files so just a quick post on the forums will also generally reward you with what you need. For the most part its all generally free, which is truly remarkable. And so if you're stuck then just go search Aminet. Magic. The Aminet Archive I will demonstrate an Aminet disc on the very wonderful Q Drive 1241 for the Amiga 1200 OK I have the CD And my A1200 is set up for the QDrive On DF1 I will use the 5.25" in Amiga mode No mount file required in DEVS For external 3.5" I am using and original And so with black mouse in tow I am ready This computer has the Blizzard Turbo IV With around 8MB of memory I called this computer Moot for some reason And so I fire her up Load the Aminet disk Instantly recognised by the rodent And start searching through the contents The original discs came on 4 disc sets There really have been a lot of Aminet discs released so there is no shortage Be mindful of updated software though when using the older discs Sets also appeared on cover discs I have this Aminet networking system that I doubt is related, though does enable the linking of 26 Amigas on a network Turning to the Amiga I am using, the Q Drive does have CD32 capability Standard SysInfo data for the computer I have left the Squirrel stuff on as I do use this with a ZIP drive If I need the DF1 5.25" for PC disks I can very quickly drag this tool into the old DEVS drawer in DOSDrivers Mount file for 5.25" CrossDOS The Aminet Archive If you do have something worthy of uploading to the Aminet Archive I am sure they will be more than happy to hear from you.
