It didn't have a cover disk, as far as I can tell. AC's Tech, and AmigaWorld's Tech Journal came with cover *floppies", but Transactor didn't. I have some issues scanned, and I don't see any ADF files in there... I could have been cheap in those days. ;-)

I see these guys http://amr.abime.net/ don't have any Transactor either, but they seem to focus on UK and games magazines.  Anybody have 14GB of free hosting space & bandwidth. ;-)

There were a lot of Amiga magazines that came and went quickly back in those Elder Days. I used to have about 10 of those plastic milk crates full of them.

I have seven of AmigaWorld's Tech Journal scanned. They're the only one of the US magazine publishers that still exist.

Quote from: sahlstrom;551590

I used to write a column for Amiga Transactor.  At one point I thought seriously about buying the magazine -- I'd arranged financing and was looking for editors and printers.  But, I let reality prevail when, against my wishes, I realized that the Amiga would not survive.  


Hi Steve... I used to be a member of the old Compuserve Amiga forums. Atari too for that matter. ;-)
