Savetz Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have been going through the piles of Atari disks in my basement and making hundreds of ATRs. As far as I can tell, a lot of the things I'm finding are not online yet. (But they will be!) Here's an interesting thing I've found, and haven't found referenced on Atariage or Google: The New Aladdin Collection, A Disk Publication published by Disk Publications, Inc. I have volume 1.0 — Premier Issue — May 1986 and Volume 1.2 — Oct/Nov 1986 and Volume 1.3A — undated but presumably Dec 1986/Jan 1987 each volume one contains three double-sided disks. Does anyone have other issues of this publication? E.G. Presumably there's a volume 1.1, and did it continue past Volume 1.3? The ATRs for all three issues are attached. The_New_Aladdin_Volume_10_May_1986_Disk1_Side2 is missing: there was a crazy number of bad sectors on that one.

Savetz Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I should also mention that I have a couple issues for the Atari ST, but. . . ST's not my thing. These are copyright 1987 but don't have issue dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Kevin - can you make a .zip file and attach it to the first post so folks can grab all of these in a single download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savetz Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Kevin - can you make a .zip file and attach it to the first post so folks can grab all of these in a single download? An excellent idea. I don't know how to edit an old post, but here it is. Still missing one side of one issue. They spent more than a million dollars on this content, which fits into 9MB 900KB compressed.

Savetz Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 @Kirkman - do you have the means to convert disks to .st files?
