As the amount of m68k software is somewhat limited. How many bytes of such software exist?


"The Aminet officially became the world's largest archive of software on the 16th May 1996. The library totalled over 30,000 files, 5052Mb of data."

It held that title for a number of years but for how long I have no idea. Also, now it contains x86 and PPC binaries so...

Mostly I looked up how much the TOSEC collections were and added them together.

I'm not sure about the CD32 TOSEC, but the only problem with adding the Amiga on to the total as 10GB(or whatever) is that it contains repeats and slight variations of the same thing... PAL/NTSC
