Strange Q: Anyone in the Seattle area own an Amiga?

[elfs]

It's bloody unlikely that any of them are readable, but I have a paper bag full of Amiga disks. My Amiga long since died, but I do have legal copies of the ROM and Workbench disks, along with some of my favorite games from that era (Full Metal Planet and the orginal Bard's Tale).

But on one of those floppies, somewhere, are a pair of lost Journal Entries. I want them back. I also wouldn't mind finding my old copy of Scribble!, which I don't have a copy of.

Amigas natively used an 880K freaky GCM-like format of all their very own, but with special drivers could read and write 720K PC floppies. Then the later Amigas had 1.76M HD drives that could also read/write 1.44M PC floppies, again with special drivers.

The Atari ST, on the other hand, used the PC 720K format. That's probably what you're remembering.

God damn I was way too much into this crap in the 80s.

And the CopyIIPC deluxe option board would let you read all those formats and more. :-)
