Hi guys Im looking for an ancient version of Softsynth from Digidesign that would run either on Mac or Atari ST, the 2.7VA version on Emax group needs an soundaccelerator card, the old version doesnt. Anybody has a copy of that, to sell (if original package) ? Thanks! Laurent —

I may still have a Mac floppy or two from the early nineties for each of these. Give me a day or so to look around. Jim

Would you agree to sell them to me, or how could we fix this? Sent from the future

Hi guys
Im looking for an ancient version of Softsynth from Digidesign that would run either on Mac or Atari ST, the 2.7VA version on Emax group needs an soundaccelerator card, the old version doesnt.
Anybody has a copy of that, to sell (if original package) ?
Thanks!
Laurent

Thats great Jim! I think Ted's solution is cool, if you have Norton Floppier this could be an alternative solution. By the way guys, i have found a copy of Alchemy 3.0 that is a copy of the original floppy master, made with Norton Floppier, This copy works perfectly and never crashes once installed. It will authorize your harddrive. I will upload Norton Floppier and this version of Alchemy today. I also have a version of Turbosynth that is compatible with emax and EII using rs422 transfer, plus i have the copy of the sound libraries on 3 floppies. It's Turbosynth V2.0, will upload this today as well. Sent from the future

I haven't had a 68k Mac in a few years, and even then it's been 20 years since I used these apps. Also these may well have been copy protected, as many Mac software disks were in those days, so I can't promise they would install even if they were readable. > > I had wanted to archive/clone them into image files for the benefit of the community that preserved the original track and sector format, but never got around to investigating the proper/best way to clone them. Anyone know how feasible this is, or if it's even worth doing? Any interest in these apps beyond the OP? > > - Jim > > >

Sorry for the late reply but I was unable to find a Windows version of Norton Floppier as I no longer own a 68k Mac. Tried to image w/ Omniflop but that essentially failed as allit did was write 0k files to my HD.
I'll see what other imaging apps I can find and if any of those produce a better result.
