Atari-Forum

Fantastic work! I had a subscription to Atari Computing back in the day (loved the issue with SID Player and discovered the HVSC archive on the net at college and downloaded as much as I could fit on a floppy), and used to love heading to WH Smiths in the mid-90s to see if there was a new issue of Atari World, used to read it on my break when I worked as a Saturday boy in Silica when I was 15/16 (I'm just old enough to have been around at the tail end of retail availability of the Jag and (Escom) Amiga 1200).

ST Format scans would be wonderful, I had pretty much every issue but had to make the executive decision to ditch a load due to space, think I ditched everything after issue 27-ish when they moved to a bigger format.

Great work!

Can I add Atari computing scans on atarimania?

Sure, thanks for asking. I would like to just keep a note about donations, my girlfriend scanned and edited so would be nice if she could get something in return for her efforts.

AC disks have been found and uploaded I have also made the covers larger (someone moaned about the smaller ones ages ago )

The AW floppy icons are there, but no idea if there was AW disks or not, if there was, I don't have them.

I still have to update the PDF's and covers with the better scans I did, but its not high up on my to do list currently.

File are still (thankfully) hosted by Mug UK, but I should have them uploaded on my own server next week

Yeah there were plenty of Atari World coverdisks, they are all on my site, bar the special Speedo GDOS timeworks one, which I have but haven't got round to uploading (and any broken links).

ahhh cool do you mind if I steal them for my site then

Nah of course not, they were put online in the first place to preserve them so the more people that have copies the better (particularly if I drop down dead or something!)

They aren't in MSA/ST format btw, just zips, so if you want to MSA them then you'll have to do that (can't see the point in imaging coverdisks other than making it easier for emulators to run them - well slightly easier as most of the disks contain more zip files anyway).

page updated

Did you manage to get hold of the 'naughty' page on that Atari World that was pulled from circulation? I know it did get out to subscribers before it was pulled so it must exist out there somewhere (whether by hosting it you would have to have an age related entry requirement on your website is another matter... )

Yeah I got the 2 pages "somewhere" , I need to redo the pdf to add them.. not got around to it I will have a look on my drive for them, and put a file up on my site with them.

I've added in a second floppy icon on issue 3 for now, it has the 2 missing pages. Though one page is actually a advert.

Ah capitalist advert porn eh? No wonder it got banned..

Unfortunately copy.com is ending its cloud service at the end of May 2016.

I have used an online cloud duplication service to copy all of the uploads across to my DropBox account (as it's paid for, it won't be going anywhere soon) and I will need to re-create the links to the magazines above.

Thanks for the heads-up Mike. I will see if I have enough space to host the mags on my site. It wasn't supposed to be a permanent solution anyway

They're on my DropBox account, which won't be got rid of for the forseeable future. I'll sort out the updated links when I get back home tomorrow evening.

No worries, looks like I already uploaded them onto my site, must have been when I updated my server a couple months back.

If someone wants to bulk grab the magazines into their own personal DropBox, here are the links.

It saves Exxos some bandwidth too

I used to have an Atari Computing CD, can't remember what was on it but I had a feeling it was all the disks and the mags in electronic format.

I've no idea where I last saw my copy of the 'Time Machine' CD. Nor any idea what was on it, but if the magazines are on it already, then they're probably worth digging out.

It has the reader disks, plus the test of every issue on there.

Ah, so no PDF scans then.

Nope, just html / ASC type files.

Someone sent me the pages, I think she saw them though, don't think she was impressed though, though probably nobody else was who read that page either

Hahah, point taken
Nice work though, nice to have both Atari World and Atari Computing preserved.
