Really cool find, but what does “original digital copy” mean in this context?
Would a duplicated file count still? Would a screenshot (for argument’s sake) not count?
- kfarr 2y agoFor arguments sake, could it mean the arrangement of specific atoms on the first storage medium for the digital file? Therefore a duplicated copy or screenshot would not count?
- philistine 2y agoIt means that we previously had crude photographs of screens taken during the event. Those are the pictures you see in the article. You can even see the pixel arrangement of the CRT display in the pictures. What has been found are the original Amiga files saved on a disk. They haven't been released to the public, or might never be depending on who buys them from the guy. He should just release them.
- cryptonym 2y agoIf this file is only a low-res low-color bitmap, one could probably re-create it from a good photo of CRT.
- bni 2y agoI have been working on exactly that here: https://github.com/bni/awdh https://github.com/bni/awdh Never completed it. But now it looks like there is a better photo reference all of a sudden, need to look into it again!
