Amiga Format time to PDF them!

[Digiman]

AMR is incomplete scans of AF issues and I don't just mean missing adverts, which is pointless really.

Most of these issues are already scanned, there are about 130 (some duplication) ZIP or PDF files on USENET right now. They have been there for nearly a year.

But nobody ever bothered to download them from alt.binaries etc and stick them on a HTTP accessible site like archive.org AATT.

So there is the solution, if I had a newsbin compatible service I would do it myself

[Digiman]

Yes it was a good idea I came up with

Why are people scanning them again? They've been done!!

Can someone HELPFUL go on USENET and download all issues available (about 75%) and just upload them directly to Archive.org so EVERYONE can view them.

Scan issues never scanned before first and then go back to replacing unacceptable scans. Unlike the C64 era where we needed to have 600DPI scans to see the control codes in the program listings of games to type in it's fine at even 150DPI for now (more important to have the pages flat 100% on scanner glass....an issue with many CU Amiga scans making them useless to read)

This is a great idea, I can pitch in what I got.

I got all floppies in ADF also I got 89 of the 136 magazines scanned and saved in PDF.
I also got some supplement issues and subscribers newsletters scanned and saved in PDF.

I got the following Amiga Format issues:
1-3, 12, 17-21, 23, 26-27, 29-38, 40-63, 65-85, 87-94, 97-98, 102, 105, 108, 120, 136.

So I am missing 47 issues I would love to have.

I got the following supplement/subscribers newsletter issues:
AF Backstage (sub newsletter): 58-68
Amiga CD Format: Supplement issue: 51
AF Buyer's guide: Supplement issue: 54
AF Comic Relief: Supplement issue: 43
The Best Of The Amiga: Supplement issue: 27
Exploring Real 3D: Supplement issue: 77
Get Into the Net With Your Amiga: Supplement issue: 65
Get Into Your CDROM With Your A1200: Supplement issue: 65
Get the Most Out Of Your Amiga: Supplement issue: 42
Sound & Vision: Supplement issue: 30

That's what I got and can share, I would love to get the missing issues!

I also have a huge collection of AF magazines in the loft too but but no idea exactly what is on usenet and what quality is of the mags already scanned (I don't have a usenet subs) plus I am just a bit let down with the whole Amiga community in general this last year or so and never really thought about scanning them. Did do some extra special CVG supplements for the community though as for some reason 8bit groups do not fight like the ST/Amiga groups
