cx2k Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Anyone know of any archives of the JACG Disk Library? I just got hold of a bunch of their disks and have backed them up. Did a search and only thing I see on archive.org is the newsletters and the "catalog" of the library. Would like to fill in the missing disks and put together a complete archive for others to enjoy. Thanks, John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Please upload what you have. Not sure I saw anything special in the catalog but it certainly won't hurt to have the disks archived and available somewhere.

cx2k Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yeah, I will. Just have to figure out where to upload them. Maybe I'll just host them for people to grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it on a more permanent place like archive.org. That way if you ever get sick of the hobby, or anything happens to you (hopefully not) they will be there for years to come. Hell, zip them up and put them in this message as far as that goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 @cx2k - I was a JACG member - did you ever get around to uploading the disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkindig Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Did these disks get archived???? I came into possession 119 JACG disks and wondered if I need to archive them or get them archived? @cx2k Edited February 11 by rkindig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I haven't looked in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schadret Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I can try and archive them if needed (would obviously need to get a hold of the physical disks) . Just need someone to tell me what I'd need to do - with my 1050 and FujiNet I'd think Id be able to use whatever software is recommended to do a copy from the physical D1: (or whichever) to a FujiNet mounted ATR, or something similar.. pretty simlpy I'd assume if they didn't involve any copy protection.

Schadret Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @cx2k I will archive these if you need someone to do it. Message me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazer Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Thanks, tried a few disks in Atari800Plus and they crash, tried in 800 and XL modes. What is the issue? (EDIT, ok seems it was only a few disks, the others seem to load okay) Edited February 18 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Ace Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Thanks for archiving these. "JACG Vol-029.atr" has a clearly damaged sector 485, which I restored using data from ACE Columbus disk 14b. The file SPLINE still doesn't look quite right, but at least it's a valid BASIC file now.JACG Vol-029.atr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll re-archive those disks, assuming they run on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Dunno if these disks need BASIC but if they do, try Rev A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cx2k Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Agreed with @DjayBee. I've run across a fair number of older PD programs that require translator or Rev. A basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACG Disks.zip 13.67 MB · 47 downloads I don't see this listed at archive.org, so I'm going to go ahead and upload this zip file there. As well as another zip file of the remaining JACG disks that I end up converting to digital. thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
