Greetings, vicman:

First and foremost, thank you for all of your hard work thus far. The following list contains some .tap images and type-ins (or both) you may want to add to the TOSEC vic-20 collection:

(1) http://www.edicolac64.com/public/english/tapes__and_magazines_vic20.php
(2) http://zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/vic20/games
(3) http://www.vic20.it/papersoft/

Also, type-ins and homebrew programmes appear on this forum on a regular basis:

(4) http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/index.php

Finally, this gentlemen runs a computer museum in Canada, which apparently has more than a few undumped vic-20 programmes; perhaps, you can get in contact with them to see if TOSEC can dump his material:

I sincerely hope these links help and again thank you for all of your efforts.

Hi AntiPontifex,

thanks for the links !
I will take a look, wich roms are not in TOSEC, yet.  (i know there are still many type-ins from "tokra" over at sleepingelephants)

for the computer museum in Canada :
I think this would/could be a job for the Guy's from sleepingelephant.
Did you already give the link to the sleepingelephant-forum ? i.e. to "Mayhem" ?

[Vicman]

Small Update :
replaced :  Commodore VIC20 - Games - [PRG] (TOSEC-v2012-01-26_CM).dat
with : Commodore VIC20 - Games - [PRG] (TOSEC-v2012-05-23_CM).dat

reason :
some writing proofs, added 1 new game : "Answer Selection with Joystick (1982-07)(Compute!)[type-in]"

more to come in a few weeks......

[Cassiel]

Nice one....

[AntiPontifex]

No, vicman, I haven't given the link to Mayhem or anyone else yet; I thought you'd be the one for the job  If you want me to, however, I have no problem doing that. Also, if you like, I'll post more vic-20 links here if that's appropriate.

[Vicman]

No, vicman, I haven't given the link to Mayhem or anyone else yet; I thought you'd be the one for the job  If you want me to, however, I have no problem doing that. Also, if you like, I'll post more vic-20 links here if that's appropriate.

Well, i think Mayhem & the other collectors on Denial are the better option, for dumping roms / or do contact to the canadian guy.
At last my english isn't the best ;-)

And of course you can give me more links for vic20 stuff. I still have some roms that must be added to the TOSEC-Set: But the more sources i have, the better it is ;-)
 

[AntiPontifex]

I sent a pm to Mayhem via Denial; also, here is a link I missed the first go around:

(1) http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/magazines-disk.htm

Victape Computing, Compute, and Family Computing seem to have VIC-20 related material. Transactor appears to have some material as well: do look through the entire archive. Finally, do you have some sort of FTP? There are some files I could send your way: if you prefer another method please let me know. All the best.

[Vicman]

Thanks for the link. allthough I think, already knew it....
and no, i don't have FTP.....if you want to send me some files, you can maybe use some kind of filesharing !? like mediafire or rapidshare or similar....  ;-)

[PandMonium]

If needed and easier (ftp) just pm me so the files can be datted / preserved

[Vicman]

thanks for the offer PandMonium ;-)
@AntiPontifex: please contact PandMonium. I think ftp is the best option.

[AntiPontifex]

There are a bunch of files waiting in the ftp for TOSECing!  More to come eventually.

[Vicman]

thanks a lot, AntiPontifex !
I'll check them against the last TOSEC-Dat's.

but first i need to connect to the ftp.....don't work at the moment ? !   (message: Unable to make a connection. Please try again.)

[PandMonium]

Can't connect either. Anyway, shouldn't be anything special, probably gorski got disconnected for the weekend :p
