I don't get it.
Seems like the donations are (partly) used to allow the site maintainer to increase his personal Amiga collection.
"All donations are exclusively used for the up-keep of the site or shipment of donated hardware."
"If you want to donate hardware to BigBookOfAmigaHardware.com I will pay shipment for the donated hardware."
And then donators get a special "reward" of receiving PDF scans of some documents that they want to keep secret. They are essentially selling these PDFs.
"The package contains scans (exclusive to BBoAH) of Commodore documents which until now (for the most part) hasn't been available before as PDF files."
I hate this aspect of Amiga ecosystem.
- LocalH 6y agoIndeed, the one ecosystem that has traditionally been more worried about money than preservation. You know what's funny? Cloanto themselves distribute Kickstart ROMs for free, if you know where to look. I got the prerelease v24 "Velvet" ROM from them that way lol
