[04:20] DFJustin: Lord_Nigh: - "@jasonscott: I think I have the ROMs for an unpreserved OS for the KIM-1. Who at the MESS team would be a person to whom I could send the physical ROMs and expect to get them back?" [04:22] unpreserved... kim-1? [04:22] yech, i hope its not on MIOT chips [04:22] the original kim-1 os is, and those are somewhat bitchy to dump [04:23] also theres an undumped kim-1 ROM i have had here on a piece of foam for about 3 years now [04:23] it requires 6502 Phi2 signal to even read out, plus weird voltages [04:23] i'm sort of afraid to mess with it since i don't want to fry it [04:24] miot == rriot == mos6530 [04:24] i.e. pretty much a 6532 RIOT chip, plus mask rom, in one package [04:25] the ROM i have is some other mos65xx package, for a phi2-aware mask rom, i think 2KB [04:29] i would maybe talk to kevtris about this [04:29] I can connect you with this guy. [04:34] ok. brizzo would also be a good choice for dumping stuff [04:36] wait, is this dude peter jennings? [04:37] http://www.benlo.com/microchess/ [04:37] that guy [04:37] i know peter jennings has a prototype/limited release commodore micro chess set which is a 6502 and two miots in a funky case [04:37] maybe a couple thousand made at most, most are long gone [04:38] his iirc has one blown up miot chip and doesn't work [04:38] i was going to ask him if we could try decapping it [04:38] someone makes a miot replacement daughterboard which has a riot, an eprom and a pal on it [04:38] people have used them to repair kim-1s before [04:41] i've corresponded with peter jennings before, he ported francois jalbert's FFTMORSE to a dos DTMF decoder which ran on a 286 [04:41] does an 8-bit fft, cute stuff [04:41] he was able to dig up the source code to the dtmf thing [04:41] but i have had no luck contacting francois jalbert [04:41] same francois jalbert who made JeMTeX back in the day [04:42] the problem is a much more famous musician with the same exact name graduated from the same university has he did like 5 years later [04:42] 32,222 Points and 9,358,878 Views of the Internet Archive MS-DOS Games Collection Imgur Post [04:42] That's crazy [04:42] and poisons the hell out of google results [04:44] SketchCow: hmm, i have a cd which was given to people who sent in registration cards to creative labs for sound blaster 16, has full dos cd version of pinball dreams on it [04:44] its a mixed data/audio cd so a bit bitchy to image [04:45] http://www.benlo.com/microchess/KimM.jpg <- ooh that marantz superscope cassette deck. *drool* [04:45] i have one, which needs... work. [04:45] no schematic available either [04:45] i have the schematic supplement for it, but that applies to models after a serial number after the one i have [04:46] c-105 i think [04:47] i suspect if i replaced all the capacitors in it it would probably work much better [04:47] i degaussed the heads already, made zero difference [04:48] SketchCow: back on topic, so this kim-1 board, you have my email, right? [04:56] I do. [04:56] I should connect you with him. [04:56] I'll do it. [05:28] cool [07:31] http://archive.org/details/Vintage_Operating_Systems_Archive is officially done and officially off the hook [09:22] is gparted really vintage? [09:28] No idea [09:28] What is it? [09:28] I don't even know, I just shoved it in there. [09:28] Also note some of the stuff is, you know, Windows 10 [09:29] a linux livecd from 2013 with gparted on it, for editing your partition tables [09:29] \_(.)_/Ż [09:29] I suppose it's close enough :) [09:29] I am slamming everything up into the archive [09:30] And I suspect a lot might need finesse after going up [09:31] I've certainly got a really intense amount of uploading and compression and work going on FOS [09:31] stuff is going very very slow [09:33] Frankly, with the massive burst of interest in the MSDOS thing, I really wish we had the ability to remove the mute button [09:33] It just confuses people [09:33] It just highlights how we have nobody in engineering assigned to the IA UI [09:34] * db48x nods [09:35] It bothers me, but this month is not focused on negativity [09:35] It's focused on clearing out a lot of to-dos [09:35] :) [09:35] I cancelled a lot of things, and walked away from a bunch of stuff [09:35] I have no beard right now! (Shaved) [09:35] And stuff is going out of my room out to shipping container, or mail. [09:36] My expectation is to have FOS rather on the empty side by Friday [09:36] And then I'm going after the software to clean that thing up [09:41] I took the /0 drive on FOS from 88% to 46% [09:41] The next "Old Software" collection going up is 600gb :) [09:42] adding: Adobe CreativeSuite/2012 - CS6 Master Collection/Adobe CS6 Master Collection.bin (deflated 0%) [09:42] adding: Adobe CreativeSuite/2012 - CS6 Master Collection/Setup.exe (deflated 20%) [09:42] adding: Adobe CreativeSuite/2012 - CS6 Master Collection/install.txt (deflated 34%) [09:42] adding: Adobe CreativeSuite/2012 - CS6 Master Collection for mac/ (stored 0%) [09:42] .....aaaaand it's a doozy [09:50] Also, this happened!

[16:01] For now [16:18] 22G OLD_SOFTWARE_0.zip [16:18] 36G OLD_SOFTWARE_A.zip [16:18] 4.7G OLD_SOFTWARE_B.zip [16:18] 1.8G OLD_SOFTWARE_C.zip [16:18] 227M OLD_SOFTWARE_D.zip [16:18] 971M OLD_SOFTWARE_E.zip [16:19] 1.2G OLD_SOFTWARE_F.zip [16:19] 7.0M OLD_SOFTWARE_G.zip [16:19] 107M OLD_SOFTWARE_H.zip [16:19] 176M OLD_SOFTWARE_I.zip [16:19] 18M OLD_SOFTWARE_J.zip [16:19] 1.2G OLD_SOFTWARE_K.zip [16:19] 244M OLD_SOFTWARE_L.zip [16:19] Some rather large archives indeed. [16:21] that's a lot of floppies [16:22] A and 0 were either popular letters back then, or the guy who made this archive got burnt out quickly and started phoning it in with B and onwards [16:23] It's the Adobe stuff. [16:24] oh, makes sense for it to be so bloated then :P [16:27] https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_apple_workbench?&sort=-publicdate also getting huge (Apple II Software) [16:27] Now that I wrote that hasher I'm just dumping things in by the billions [16:27] Screenshotter's going but obviously taking some time. [16:29] the lonely one, not the expensive ones, right? [16:30] Right [16:30] I simply lack the funds for the others. [16:31] I do know I intend to get all the screenshot items of amiga, I just need to think about how to do it orderly. [16:32] I can't set them dark and undark programatically. [16:32] We tried that, it fails without some horrifying tricks. [16:34] what about noindex [16:34] That's an option, it's just when you multiply it by 14,000 items it gets tricky [16:36] I've written our dev who does these things to see if I can make it happen. [17:08] I've got 9 streams of software and data going up right now. :) [17:08] FOS is.... not happy. But emptying [17:15] I had a collection of 1,500 GOG.COM games. That's been finally uploaded into the archive. [17:22] Don't live or die on the number, but it looks like if I just leave everything uploading, over 1tb of material will go in with the new batch [17:23] So operation "Just dump all of this old crap into the archive" is a success [17:24] I just spoke to Jake the Dev. He's going to write me a dark/undark calling script. [17:24] This will allow me to generate the list of 14,000 items, and go through them darking and then undarking, pulling screenshots. [17:31] cool [18:27] So, doing this work, I found out... [18:27] https://archive.org/search.php?query=emulator%3Asae%2A [18:27] People are uploading their own amiga-emulation-ready items [18:42] .. [18:42] So, great news. [18:42] Jake wrote the script, and I just ran a test of the script, and it works. [18:43] http://fos.textfiles.com/AMIGA/AMIGA/SCREENHOUSE/ [18:54] It's begun! 500 at a time.
