This is probably a stupid question, but is anyone interested in selling their Amiga Transactor collection? :-)

I never heard of that magazine until I inherited a bunch of Amiga stuff a few years back. Was it both a paper mag that was accompanied by a disk? BTW: Where are you located??

It was print, not sure about disk but I would guess that it did. I've seen a few attempts at online archives:

It didn't have a cover disk, as far as I can tell. AC's Tech, and AmigaWorld's Tech Journal came with cover *floppies", but Transactor didn't. I have some issues scanned, and I don't see any ADF files in there... I could have been cheap in those days. ;-)

Yeah, I just looked through some of my Transactor issues and cover disks - didn't see any for Transactor. Have a few of each from AX's Resource, The Tool Chest and a couple more obscure ones.

Transactor is a hardcore mag. Lots of tech info there, not many ads (which they prided themselves for) and C64/C128 content too. Overall though, not a mag I would have been into back in the day or now for that matter. lol The formatting is kinda strange... I don't mind text after text, but the paragraphs are broken up funny, not enough headlines, etc. lol I'd imagine these mags are pretty rare as most people prolly ended up chucking 'em.

I recall Transactor as a publication of the Toronto Pet Users Group. Jim Butterfield was very much involved with that group and published articles with them. TPUG is still in operation: www.tpug.ca. I worked for them at the SF Commodore show in '86, great folks and they did much to advance Commodore computing in North America.

They sell a CD with a 1100 adf and d64 files of the entire TPUG library. I don't see anything regarding the magazine...

The Transactor was no the TPUG Magazine, it was seperate. It was a very Technical Magazine and started with the C64. The Amiga version of the Magazine was called Amiga Transactor. At one time I had most of the Transactor and Amiga Transactor issues but discarded them when I last moved.

I believe the Magazine was Published in Canada (Specifically Toronto,Ont.) and had limited distribution in the US.

Sorry, that Transactor page of mine disappeared when geocities died late last year...

I sent my (fairly voluminous) magazine collection, which included a number of old Transactor issues, to James in Canberra.
Think he is on here, not sure of the user name though.

He maintains a page at: http://amigan.1emu.net/

No idea if he has got around to scanning them yet..

Cheers,
Red

I see these guys http://amr.abime.net/ don't have any Transactor either, but they seem to focus on UK and games magazines. Anybody have 14GB of free hosting space & bandwidth. ;-)

I did some research last night and found a Transactor, about '86 where they became the house publication for TPUG. Yes, they were seperate but I became aware of them when they were with TPUG.

There is a vast library of Transactor issues out there....Google is your friend. I saw one site which also included the disk for each issue.

I've been downloading Commodore based magazines from Usenet on alt.binaries.emulators.cbm. They have been very nicely scanned into PDFs.

The list is pretty amazing. I believe Transactor has been posted as well.

You might want to take a look.

I converted the PDFs I wanted to JPGs and put them on my iPod Touch. I can browse through Compute!, Compute's Gazette, and .Info now when I'm waiting somewhere.


Good Luck!

I've seen vast amounts of Transactor, but not any archives of Amiga Transactor...

Some scans of the Transactor (including the hard to find Volume 1 put out by Commodore) can be found at http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~schepers/transmag.html

Have a look at the rest of Peter Schepper's site as well.

For a short time TPUG provided an insert which was bound into the Transactor and these copies were mailed to TPUG members. This didn't last too long because of the cost.

At www.tpug.ca under 'Archives' you can see reference to these issues and a couple are available for downloading.

You can also read about the library CD referred to by an earlier poster.

Nope, wrong Transactor magazine; the Amiga Transactor had articles like "Interrupts: The untold story by Carl Sassenrath". I have quite a few somewhere, but I never could find out how many were published so I could tell which issues I did not have. Anyone know?
