All Black Belt Amiga S/W now available available to Download

[Rabbi]

Ben Williams, the author of all Black Belt Systems software has graciously made all his Amiga Software available to download to the Amiga community.  

This includes:

ImageMaster R/t ver. 1.60 + 3rd party Plug-in Modules
ApAssist
AVT (Amiga Video Terminal for use w/AEA's AVT H/W) ver. 5.50
Board Master ver. 1.19 (PCB S/W)
Digital Soup (Evolutionary Artificial Life)
JakeBoard (S/W for the Physically Challenged)
TalkBoard (S/W for the Physically Challenged)

The link for all this is:
http://www.datapipe-blackbeltsystems.com/amiga.html
You'll note that Ben is offering (under the ImageMaster section on this page) the Windoze version of his ImageMaster successor, WinImages, at a very special & affordable price of US$29.95 (D/L only @ this price!)  I hope there are a few people out there that will purchase it.

There are 2 pieces of software that are missing from this collection.  They are:
FlexOS Emulator
NoteBook

If you have either of these, please send them to me so that I can archive them & send them to Ben, as I did with all his other Amiga S/W.

I believe the FlexOS Emulator is on Amige Format CD #17, which I'm missing.  Someone out there have that?

So you convinced him to release his Amiga goodies, but he didn't have any copies himself?  

He no longer had any Amiga H/W to read the floppies he sent me.  He didn't even have a copy of ImageMaster R/t.  I had purchased ImageMaster a long time ago & had that & used it.  I suggested he purchase Amiga Forever 2008.

Is it important for the stuff to be downloaded from that site, or will it be going onto Aminet later on?

I suggested that he post it as a link on his web site so that he could shamelessly put a plug for his Windoze successor to ImageMaster R/t &, hopefully, make a few sales like that.   :-D

Overview
============

What is it?
-----------
This is a complete emulation of a 6809 processor based FLEX system.
Flex is a disk operating system (DOS) which, along with CP/M and a few
others, truly pioneered small "personal" computers.

Is this it?

That's it!!! :-D

Send me a PM on here!  I'll give you my e-mail address.  It might be awhile for me to get back to you as I'm off to work now & this site is blocked at work.

BTW, I've got 2 A3070s, so I could use some DC6150 tapes if you've got.

We bought Notebook back in the day and it was a cool program.

If you can find it, I'd appreciate it if I could get it, archive it & send it to Ben to complete his Amiga S/W collection.  He couldn't locate that one.  You know, you're local to me.  :-o

I now have the Flex OS Emulator, so don't send it to me now.  A big thanks to all those who did!  :crazy:

BTW, I had the AF w/CD #18.  It was a 2-issue story about emulation on the Amiga.  It discussed the Flex OS Emulator in "the previous issue".  That's how I knew about it.  As far as "NoteBook" is concerned, I don't ever remember it being a piece of s/w offered on any Amiga cover disk or CD.

I also wanted to say that my favorite effect in ImageMaster is the "Neon Edging" in the PIMS 3rd party plug-in module by Ian Smith of Pittsburgh, PA.
