Only if they are partaking in Care In The Community plans :-)
I had the misfortune to have to write games on the Amiga once. Once was
enough. Bl**dy awful things.
The only redeeming feature was the lack of a hardware floppy disk
controller. The functions normally performed by the FDC where shared
between some of the custom chips. Commodore insisted on their strange GCR
encoding scheme. But as the format was soft, it meant you could use the
FDC as a high performance disk copier. Just about any copy protected 3.5in
double density format could be copied trivially using the Amiga.
What was the name of the fabulous copy everything disk copy program? The
one that used to play the digitised song "Yo, ho, ho, ho a pirate's life
for me" as it loaded?
