(OFFER) IBM OS/2 Warp Blue Spine - CD-ROM Edition

[ibmpcat5170]

Hey everyone!
I got the Blue Spine edition of IBM OS/2 Warp on CD-ROM off eBay and I'll image its floppies and CD.
But first, should I scan its outer box... and why?

[pool7]

If you plan on submitting it to the FTP, then yes, please scan the CDs, floppies and the box (make sure you follow the guidelines).
As to "why?": because we're all about preservation, and boxes are part of what we want preserved

[ATeamInc]

MDF dumps please!..

[ibmpcat5170]

I'm finished dumping and scanning everyting.
And now, I'll upload the release to the FTP.

[ibmpcat5170]

And of course I'm finished uploading the release.

[mrpijey]

Thanks.

There were no box scans however. And the log files are missing for both discs. Can you please upload these?

[ibmpcat5170]

Reuploading the release with log files for both CD-ROMs.

[ibmpcat5170]

I'm sorry for not including scans from the outer boxes,
but everything went wrong when I was trying to scan them.

[ibmpcat5170]

Finished reuploading the release.

[mrpijey]

What exactly happened when "everything went wrong"? It's not difficult to scan the covers as lots of members already done that for other titles.

Well, when I was scanning the outer box... the rear part went out of focus!

[mrpijey]

Then you need to properly press down on it by applying some weight etc. As long as the cover is flat against the scanner it should not be an issue.

I already did so, but still no luck.

[mrpijey]

It's very odd considering that the scanner doesn't do any focusing and as long as you have the cover flat against the screen it will scan it properly. Can you upload a sample?

[ibmpcat5170]

I finally managed to make decent scans of the OS/2 Warp and its BonusPak boxes,
so now I'm uploading them to the FTP.

[ibmpcat5170]

I'm finished uploading the box shots to the FTP.

[mrpijey]

Alright, just checked them.

Are these scans resized? They look extremely blurry and jagged for being 600dpi scans...

OS2 Box - Right Side: It's a bit blurry, can you put down some weight on it inside and retry? Same goes for OS2 Box - Top, but since it's a flap you can scan it with the flap open and put a book or something on top to press it down.

Does the Bonus Pak have a rear side? I only saw sides and front.

Otherwise it looks ok.

Thanks.

[ibmpcat5170]

mrpijey: I retried but it did not work out!

Also, the BonusPak box has no top, bottom nor rear sides.

[mrpijey]

So the BonusPak lacks any dimensions and is only two dimensional... interesting .

Well, thanks then, I guess someone else will have to rescan it in the future. I will try to improve the artwork as much as possible...

[SistemaRayoXP]

I guess it's like one of those boxes that are like a notebook or a sheet of paper

[pool7]

Maybe it's a CD in a sleeve?

[ibmpcat5170]

Actually it's a two-piece box.

[ibmpcat5170]

I reuploaded the release, but with better scans.
