Here is the second batch of materials provided by an anonymous contributor (click here<\/a> for the first instalment). Once again, you can browse through the paper relics of the very dawn of the home computer cracking<\/abbr> & demo<\/abbr> cultures – fragile traces of long forgotten individuals and groups as well as of those who came to be considered as scene<\/abbr> legends later on. Among the more unusual scans from this update is the disk cover done by the early Amiga<\/abbr> group Warfalcons<\/em>. Even though Amiga floppy disks did not technicaly need paper sleeves, Warfalcons<\/em> still made a batch of these – just like the usual ones on the C64<\/abbr>, but in 3,5″ size.\u00a0 Another remarkable artifact is a letter from a Belgian Amiga swapper<\/abbr> around 1986 – typewritten on his father’s busines card. Another example of how much early digital subcultures had to rely on analogue techniques.<\/p>\n
