A.D.A. Amiga Demoscene Archive

Years ago, i bought a collection of 11 cd's with bonus cd (best of) from an australian called Tony Hasselbacher. Ever since, it has been an invaluable resource for me in finding amiga demos. Quite excellent collection with a search engine and direct link to unpacking. Only "downside" for me is that it relies quite heavily on disks and i haven't got many around anymore plus most of them are corrupted.

Anyway, the complete archive has been added to scene.org which is rather fantastic. The search engine tool can be downloaded from aminet i think. So start burning those cd's because it's a rather fantastic collection.

off topic question: is there a possibility to undms a disk to another medium than a disk (like undms straight to ram: or something?)

you can undms to a fms: device.
it can be used as a virtual floppy and i always had a couple of fms devices mounted for the purpose of extracting dms-archives and compiling disks.

an interesting side-effect is that the data used to store the virtual floppy on the hd is in fact binary compatible to adf. so it is really easy to read adf images on a real amiga.

Search Aminet for FMS
fmdisk.readme
fmsdisk.lha

Personally I use the RAD:

i use rad: too... and I think it's possible to set up a dm0: in ram using dms.device for the purpose of unpacking dms-archives to memory

damn...and here i am still messing about with low density disks, from which probably most of them are corrupted anyway...

oh yes FMS was great to prepare distribution disks for diskmags and stuff for swapping :)))
