hey amiga fans - - - i have exactly one Amiga disk left that boots into an amazing cracktro with music that I have wanted to record.... I can't find the song on youtube anywhere... but my A500 as a broken floppy drive. Are there any fanatics anywhere near Boston within 100 miles who would be willing to let me boot this disk on their machine and record the song?

Are you able to give any more information on the cracktro? Which group? What was cracked?

  Bamiga Sector One was the group. The game was either Virus or Mah Jong. From about 1991. It's a beautiful, 4-voice counterpoint tune with somewhat unusual synth patches (sampled Kawaii-ish). I would be totally fine if the tune is out there somewhere, but I scan youtube every few months/years and it hasn't tu

    Worth a tweet to @textfiles (Jason Scott) about preserving the disk.

Try posting on eab.abime.net - English Amiga Board. Despite the name, it is "crawling" with Amiga people from all over, and it has a very active subset of people that are working hard to archive everything they can. You can also try www.amiga.org and www.amigaworld.net - there's a lot of overlap but not entirely. Though EAB seems to be the English-speaking focus of preservation for the Amiga. They'll almost certainly be able to tell you whether or not the cracktro has already been ripped and if it has, they'll almost certainly be able to get you an ADF to load on UAE.
