Re: MGT-Samco newsdisks not downloadable
Hi Mike, The problem with those ROM-type sites is that often they aren't kept up-to-date. For example, the version of Defender they are carrying is the original release from way back in 1998 - red Digital Reality logo. WOS and the ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe archive carry the (better) second release - green DR logo. But only WOS carries the (best) last and final release - rug pattern without logo. So those ROM sites are probably useful for obscure and/or software that hasn't been officially released, but for all other software WOS is still the preferred way to all things SAM. Closely followed by the ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe archive. Although that archive doesn't carry some of the later/more recent files available on WOS. Chris.

For sentimental value I was trying to download the sam newsdisks: : But it keeps coming back with an error saying the source files cannot be read. These filese have been put in a denied state due to someone at one time have requested them removed for download. I should of course have made a note on who and when, but that never happened. Who owns the rights to this software now is not clear to me, but unless someone with a bit of authority on the issue comes forward and approves I'm relucantat to just release them.

I guess we could get a list of all software denied and try and re-apply for the right to distribute again -Original Message- From: owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no [mailto:owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no] On Behalf Of Tennebø Frode Sent: 09 April 2013 07:40 To: 'sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no' Subject: RE: MGT-Samco newsdisks not downloadable For sentimental value I was trying to download the sam newsdisks: : But it keeps coming back with an error saying the source files cannot be read.

Re: MGT-Samco newsdisks not downloadable
It's a shame we don't know who owns them though; I'd be willing to pay.

MGT-Samco newsdisks not downloadable
Hi, For sentimental value I was trying to download the sam newsdisks: ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe/disks/magazines/MGT-Samco/SamCoNewsDisk1.zip ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe/disks/magazines/MGT-Samco/SamCoNewsDisk5.zip But it keeps coming back with an error saying the source files cannot be read. Any help would be appreciated. I wondered if someone else could try downloading these and see if they have the same problem. Regards, Mike
