Real Original disk or is it a Pirated Copy?
« on: February 04, 2006, 06:29:26 AM »
 This label looks funky - homemade.  Is it a real original disk or a pirated copy with a user made disk label?  

I try not to buy any pirated software, even if the company is no longer in business.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

It's impossible to tell ): Lots of commercial disks back then looked like they came out of somebodys basement. It used to be pretty common for companies to just use a plain vanilla lable with the title written on it with a dotmatrix prtiner.

I have this software purchased new and legit along with Master ISO. The 3.0x disk label looks professional on mine for the time period. The eBay picture is not very good so it's hard to tell.

I used to download the updates from the Asimware web site before it went down. The site had you enter your serial number to unlock the downloads if I remember correctly.

Now that Iomega has purchased the remains the updates are no longer available. Does anyone know how to obtain the AsimCDFS 3.0x to 3.10/3.11 update files? They were free for registered users.  How about the updates for MasterISO 2.0. What was the lastest version of that?

I have two Version 3 Disks, one V3.0 and one V 3.9. Both labes look like homemade, but they have an other design:
Logo down left with the Adress printes right to it, while the Titel goes from left to right on the upper part.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.
