IDSA Requests VIC 20 Cartridge Roms Takedown

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the obsolescence-is-no-excuse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The VIC20 cartridge dump archive has been taken down by FUNET following a request by the IDSA (Interactive Digital Software Association). More info from comp.sys.cbm." Of course, VIC 20 users are now going to have to buy their cartridges in stores, and by "stores", I mean garage sales, flea markets, and swap meets.

    I was just about done downloading these to save to 5.25" floppies! My Vic had been on for days doing this, poor little 300 baud modem, and I'd been praying that my wife wouldn't pick up the phone and cause it to hang up. Now they're gone!

    Can someone please put them up on a BBS so I can try grabbing them again?

    Thanks! ;^)
