Is anyone have an archive of backtotheroots.org?
Seems that the site will never reappear again, which is really sad.
I wish I would of download it when I had a chance.
Thanks

You might find some of it on Aminet. There is still a (really bad) Amiga
MOD I did in the late 90s which I thought I had lost. I recovered it from
there a few years ago.
Too bad we didn't had (access to) software archives in the 80s, when the
Amiga ruled much of the home computer world (in Europe at least). I did a
few MODS then too which I consider lost now. But may be in my case that
is good so no one needs to listen to it. ;-)
I also did some translations of manuals from English to other
languages. All was saved on floppies back then, but no one I know from
the old gang today kept them or has working hardware.

I've been digging my old amiga stuff out of my garage where it has sat in
boxes for nearly 20 years. I've got gigabytes of stuff on tape storage
but will have to find a SCSI tape reader for it since I lost mine in the
last move. I used to collect MODS and have most of them on data tape.
I'm about to buy a vampire accelerator for my A500 hopefully they'll have
one for me in the next few months. I just retired and have time for my
hobbies again. I can't believe how much stuff I've got stashed in those
boxes. Cyberstorm 060 and all kinds of stuff. A4000, A3000, A1200 then
there's the C64 stuff. Computers used to be fun.

Sitting unused for that long, wouldn't bearings in tape, floppy and
hard drives have frozen by now?
