22:20 🔗 godane i have past 40k in my godaneinbox collection
22:44 🔗 TFGBD should I put an archiveteam tag in some of my uploads even though I don't work for you guys?
22:44 🔗 garyrh YOU'RE HIRED
22:44 🔗 garyrh yes
22:46 🔗 TFGBD but it's not all official like
22:46 🔗 pikhq Do we look official?
22:46 🔗 TFGBD I don't consider myself one of you guys and I'm not like running scripts 247
22:47 🔗 TFGBD I'm not all fanceeey
22:51 🔗 danneh_ so long as you're interested in saving stuff, that's all that matters!
22:52 🔗 TFGBD I just found a bunch of shovelware graphics CDs in the other room
22:52 🔗 TFGBD Stuff like "mastering photoshop" and "fonts" etc.
22:52 🔗 dashcloud the fonts ones you should definitely put up
22:52 🔗 TFGBD I have something about FrontPage 98 too
22:52 🔗 dashcloud we've got a little collection of fonts & clipart CDs up there
22:52 🔗 DFJustin TFGBD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ZTmuX3cog#t=42m52s
22:52 🔗 TFGBD I think it's clipart or something
22:53 🔗 TFGBD I really need to start digging in the garage
22:53 🔗 TFGBD that's where all the good stuff (floppies) are
22:53 🔗 dashcloud if you've got anything by Expert software, Cosmi, or Swift Jewel, put those up
22:54 🔗 TFGBD Oh, i remember Expert Software!
22:54 🔗 TFGBD I know I have some somewhere
22:54 🔗 dashcloud you should definitely do thsoe floppies much sooner rather than later- the lifespan of a floppy isn't that good, especially if it's in somewhat hostile locations
22:54 🔗 pikhq TFGBD: Yeah, I'd recommend you get on that reasonably quick. Floppy media isn't quite dead yet, but it's laying on its death bed.
22:54 🔗 TFGBD Yeah, I had some issues reading my Micrografix Picture Publisher 4.0 disk 4
22:55 🔗 TFGBD It had CRC errors
22:55 🔗 TFGBD but it still seemed to install fine from the dumped floppy images
22:55 🔗 TFGBD In that case, I'll just zip up the bad floppy and hope the files are okay
22:57 🔗 TFGBD should I make a note that I had dumping issues with the 4th disk?
22:57 🔗 TFGBD Also that it was a backup copy
22:57 🔗 DFJustin sure
22:59 🔗 joepie91 TFGBD: note as much information as you have
22:59 🔗 joepie91 it can never be too much :P
23:00 🔗 joepie91 basically, note as much information as you can get away with in the time you have available
23:02 🔗 TFGBD I also found this thing called DOS 6.22 Plus Enhanced Tools
23:02 🔗 TFGBD No idea how this is different from a regular DOS 6.22
23:02 🔗 TFGBD But I assume it isn't exceedingly rare
23:02 🔗 TFGBD I had issues dumping it, though
23:02 🔗 TFGBD but zipping the files worked fine?!
23:03 🔗 joepie91 grab what you can :D
23:04 🔗 TFGBD Yeah, I figure they can always be recreated from the files if they are fine
23:04 🔗 TFGBD I also have some AMDK8 and P1 machine
23:04 🔗 TFGBD machines*
23:04 🔗 TFGBD Guess I should get on backing up their HDDs
23:05 🔗 TFGBD AMDK6&
23:06 🔗 DFJustin what are you using to make disk images
23:08 🔗 TFGBD Winimage
23:08 🔗 TFGBD Saving as raw .img
23:09 🔗 TFGBD I'm using ImgBurn for the CDs
23:09 🔗 DFJustin good good
23:10 🔗 DFJustin remember to write-protect floppies before letting windows see them
23:10 🔗 TFGBD I'm started saving the CDs as bin/cue
23:10 🔗 TFGBD and then just converting them to ISO later
23:10 🔗 TFGBD I think one of these floppies might have had a bootsector virus in it. Not sure
23:11 🔗 pikhq Oh maaan. :)
23:11 🔗 TFGBD But I accidentally booted from it and the main HDD would no longer boot suddenly
23:11 🔗 TFGBD Had to run a chkdsk
23:11 🔗 TFGBD Might have just been a coinkidink, though
23:12 🔗 TFGBD The only thing I really tested were the picture publisher floppy images.
23:12 🔗 TFGBD It worked great in my WinFrame VM.
23:12 🔗 TFGBD Hmm, guess I should upload Winframe too
23:12 🔗 TFGBD But I only have an ISO.
23:13 🔗 TFGBD I guess I could email the guy and see if he will do bin/cue.
23:13 🔗 TFGBD He was also going to get back to me with box shots
23:13 🔗 DFJustin I kind of doubt old boot sector viruses would be able to do anything on a modern pc
23:14 🔗 TFGBD Yeah, wasn't sure what to think
23:14 🔗 TFGBD It's not like I installed from it
23:14 🔗 TFGBD I can't see how DOS 6.22 would kill an NTFS partition either
23:14 🔗 TFGBD It's just a boot/install disk
23:14 🔗 pikhq DFJustin: There's no reason they couldn't do *anything*.
23:15 🔗 pikhq I'd expect most of what they'd do is break stuff.
23:15 🔗 joepie91 in various colourful wayys
23:15 🔗 joepie91 ways *
23:15 🔗 TFGBD PCs are THAT different
23:15 🔗 TFGBD Mostly just faster
23:15 🔗 TFGBD aren't*
23:15 🔗 TFGBD This isn't an EFI BIOS either
23:16 🔗 joepie91 TFGBD: what format are you storing CDs in, then? .img?
23:16 🔗 pikhq I'd expect a typical boot sector virus to be written to chainload to msdos.sys on a FAT FS, though.
23:16 🔗 TFGBD bin/cue
23:16 🔗 joepie91 oh, I thought imgburn only supported img for imaging?
23:16 🔗 TFGBD It must be a newer version then
23:16 🔗 joepie91 apparently I am mistaken :P
23:16 🔗 TFGBD I installed it a few months ago
23:16 🔗 pikhq Meaning a boot sector virus running on a modern-ish PC would make the new boot sector into something that would make it stop booting. :)
23:17 🔗 joepie91 well, it *is* years ago since I last used Windows
23:17 🔗 joepie91 so... :P
23:17 🔗 DFJustin well they could do anything but would it actually work given that most boot sector viruses were written for mid-1980s era pcs
23:17 🔗 TFGBD it actually defaulted to bin/cue for a few CDs I tried for some reason
23:17 🔗 DFJustin like could it even find the hard drive
23:17 🔗 joepie91 it'd be a little disconcerting if the lifespan of malware were to be longer than that of legitimate software
23:17 🔗 joepie91 but.. yeah
23:17 🔗 TFGBD ImgBurn used to be called DVD Decrypter.
23:17 🔗 pikhq DFJustin: The BIOS interface for hard drives is actually identical.
23:17 🔗 pikhq So: yes, it would be able to find the hard drive.
23:18 🔗 DFJustin ok then yeah
23:18 🔗 TFGBD Malware is timeless, brah!
23:18 🔗 TFGBD I have some of that to contribute too if AO really wants it...
23:18 🔗 pikhq Modern OSes just don't use the BIOS disk interface because it's stupidly slow. Works perfectly fine and is by *far* the easiest way of accessing disk in minimal space though.
23:18 🔗 pikhq Like, say, a boot sector virus. :)
23:19 🔗 DFJustin I uploaded a bunch https://archive.org/details/Viruses-20040521
23:19 🔗 TFGBD I needed to boot DOS on my EFI laptop to fix the EFI bios corruption
23:19 🔗 TFGBD Thank god for legacy option roms.
23:19 🔗 TFGBD Oh, neat!
23:19 🔗 TFGBD How long before they dark it?
23:20 🔗 TFGBD I found this DOS disk next to a dead guy's Radioshack tandy.
23:20 🔗 DFJustin dunno, I can always poke jason too
23:20 🔗 TFGBD So, who knows where it has been
23:21 🔗 TFGBD What gives. Archive.org isn't letting me upload more files with the stupid confusing Item Editor.
23:21 🔗 TFGBD Well, it did
23:21 🔗 TFGBD it took the cues but seems like it failed on the BINs
23:21 🔗 TFGBD wait, nm. it's just slow
23:22 🔗 TFGBD I wish it showed some progress
23:22 🔗 TFGBD I guess you only get progress for the initial upload
