| Years ago I was on the I-Amiga bitnet listserv list. I tried to sign up for it awahile back, but it has apparently gone away.
I was known there the same as I am here, JimP. So if anyone here was on that email ist, Howdy ! And if you weren't, Howdy !
The last time I booted my Amiga computers up, the A1000 and A3000 worked. I didn't have much in the way of commercial software; Final Copy word processor, a directory utility I don't remember the name of, and maybe a few others. I have three A500s I want to get working again. One had 1 meg of video ram.
I was given the early version of CrossDOS by another Amiga user where I lived back then. I used ftpmail to get files back in the late 1980s. I know ftpmail no longer exists.
I did notice a pd/shareqware 3.5" floppy distribution back then in an Amiga magazein, probably .info and bought a few disks.
Tried watching youtube videos on repairing my computers, but I find pdfs with pictures to be easier to follow.

Thank you !
I am uncertain how much pd/shareware disks I have. It could be as many as 150. I know their approximate location, but they are burried somewhat behind other boxes. They are in closed plastic containers so they should all be good.
Currently no way to share them. I have to be sure my Amiga computers work first. And then find a way to connect one of them to the internet.
I read somewhere in the past few days, binge reading about my Amigas, and I noticed using a Rapsberry pI and an ethernet cable to make some connections.
I have a rapsberry pi, and a beaglebone black.
edit: Its the Fred Fish disks I have. Last edited by JimP on 28-Aug-2018 at 02:52 AM.
