 Backup SW for its day 8-)

Discsalv doesn't quite do what I want. What I need to do is check all the 200 or so .adf images
I have made of my disks over the last year. Drive Doctor was really good at doing that.

Disksalv  is the way to go there for sure. I found another very good prg on aminet called
Diskmate.

Do you mean floppy based classic amiga games?
Yeah thats not surprising. I never had the luck of getting a ppc card 8-(
But the Natami Project looks like its about ready to go into production soon so
 that will be perfect for running classic Amiga stuff on.
