  • Old AmigaNet nodelist

    Hi All,

    I got an old nodelist from a new node (Conny Enstrom), who rescued the contents
    of his old Amiga harddisk from back in the day:

    ;A AmigaNet Nodelist for Friday, December 29, 1995 -- Day number 363 : 49616

    This was when FTN was booming. There are 1643 lines in this file so probably more then 1500 systems, and AmigaNet still had 3 Zones at that time.

    It's here if you are interested:

    Bye, Wilfred.

    What a walk down memory lane!

    I thought so too!

    I also got the contents of some AmigaNet areas from that same time period. I'm in the proces of converting/importing them into my message base, so they can be
    rescanned or exported to text files which can also be put up for download...

    The areas concerned are HARD_AMY, NEWS_AMY, SOFT_AMY, and a couple of Swedish areas, of which I can hardly understand a word of. ;-)

    Anyone else who has some old harddisks laying around!? ;-)

    Yes. Kind-of ;-)

    When I sold my A1200, I imaged the HD so it is preserved and usable with the usual suite of Amiga emulators. This includes a snapshot of my view of FidoNet
    at the time, via MailManager.

    Not a huge number of messages, but definitely a view into different times!

    I'm only looking for AmigaNet related files, I leave Fidonet to others. ;)
