You still need disckit to format blank disks.
Does disckit on the pcw copy discs?

Speaking of that, I was trying to locate the thread the other day but didn't have much chance: anybody's got a bookmark for the BASIC listings formatting disks?

What a cool story :) Must have felt so great!!


Can you share the birthday wish list? ;)
It did!

OK I'll share it, on the condition that if you open it you have to get me something from it. [emoji6]



I feel so spoilt looking at that. My wish lists are MUCH more unassuming these days. [emoji56]

Haha that's fantastic!!!! Wish I had mementos like that... Pity it's "commodore this" and "commodore that" though. Loses points.


Can I share it outside this forum?

I like that, at that time, there was only one "Commodore". The 64. Amiga hadn't made it's way into the consciousness yet.

The C64 was great but the Amstrad was the proper computer I actually got stuff done on, case in point above!

Feel free to share, just point the link here and credit Starglider.

Thanks!

Thanks, just did :)


Do you remember if you got something out of this lit for that birthday after all?

Starglider

I wish I could remember! I definitely owned Spy Vs Spy so that might explain it.

Thanks!

Well, if you had it on disk then maybe you got that drive too, after all :D

Starglider

I think I did!

By the way I'd love a link to where you shared my screenshot.

Ha nice!

I think I had Spy Vs Spy on cassette, but thinking about it all I definitely at some point acquired the disk drive, pin image maker (still got that), and Filofax!
