i just discovered that Sonic Timeworks L.L.P. also released for Mac OS 9. I thought they were windows only until now.

https://web.archive.org/web/20071123175429/http://www.sonictimeworks.com/products.php

"Requirements

   Protools compatable RTAS sytem. Pro Tools 5.1 or higher / Pro Tools LE / Pro Tools Free
   Compatible with Pro Tools HD...
   MAC- MacOS 9 or higher. G3 or higher."

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sonictimeworks.com/*

enter "hqx" to filter out the AU/VST/RTAS demos for mac OS 9

demo's work for 30 seconds, then shut off for 5 seconds.

maybe someone in the future can bring us those curiosities back to the future

it is still interesting information. we had the RTAS demo, but not the pulsar one. to be exact, there are probably some more pulsar plug-ins i have never heard of.

At one point in time, back in 2013 we had a pretty extensive Folder architecture on the "ADrive" platform that included in it's tree...

1) Plugin Type
2) Software Publisher/Creator
3) Plugin Name and version

We had this tree for all working plugins that were derived from Mactron and I going over 300+ Factory Plugin CDs, Wayback links, and core member uploads; we also had many folders that were "in progress" that consisted of missing and non-working plugins that were in the process of being reverse engineered by mactron and being tracked down by myself.

After moving away from "Adrive" the plugins (in progress) stuff was not moved and the folders never replicated so we did not get to create a definitive text document or speadsheet :(

But overall, we did our best to make as many images that we could and offered them here and at the garden.

interesting, i never saw that thing and as it seems nobody has a backup, just as nobody has a backup from the content we hosted at m-archive.

however, now we have 1000+ - and the version numbers are now part of the filenames for a #reason.

at the weekend we begin to build a multi-installer system for the whole collection (starting with VST, but eventually to be followed by other things)

of course, just as back in 2013, nobody will care about it and nobody will download and use it anyway, but that´s no reason to not carry it out. :)

the list of "missing" things has already shrinked from ~12 to about ~10 (?) and there is a small chance that this number keeps shrinking during the next 10 years.

Yes, we had many folders that were not live because they were not complete and tested.

Also, there were many items, from you and others, that were labeled, "Do not offer publicly" and we never violated that trust with you or any other member.

Lastly, I still have many CD binders (all factory items) and some were never able to be converted into a usable plugins... such as the "Rob Pipin" stuff and tons of TC (for powercore)

So I can always send them to a motivated member in 2024/2025

Last note: AFAIK The "member uploads" from you and about 8 others were NOT backed up before Adrive was erased (or nuked as you remember), and the "in progress" stuff was also not put in the backup plan at the time

beside the usual issues of cooperating online and people not making backups, it is generally a difficult task to put all files and infos in a single place or into a big monolitic file with a custom frontend.

what i am currently planning for example will on the one hand combine files / installers (only when required) / authorisations (only when required) / and some statistical information about the content - but there is one big problem remaining: alltogether there are still so many bigger files required to make such a bundle complete, that in the end the bundle will be too big.

for quark xpress plug-ins this system is very easy. all of them either just work or ask for a serial, and they sum up to some 100 mb.

but for virtual instruments we´re talking about 5 different authorisation schemes, huge factory content, and endusers which more often only need a single file than the complete bundle so that the size will easily exceed a BD-DL image (not to speak of the 1gb size limit of some hosters or the 2gb limit of most hotline apps)

then there are a few other necessities such as synchronizing the fileserver, my (or other endusers) personal needs - and the fact that the frontend and the file collection is of course something dynamic, where bugfixes, updates and changes will occur from time to time.

in stage 2 i keep in mind the instant DAW project and third party content and see how that can possibly be integrated, too

btw do you know how the prosonic installers look like? where you can either only intall, only authorize, or do both - and all with a single click, just in case anyone needs one of these options. that is how things should look like in a perfect mac world. ;)

even cooler than only making a custom frontend for the installers would be if the user could directly choose to download the files from the online repository like the apple updater controlpanel one did it.

in this context i am still looking to learn how to modify existing vise/alladin installers to remove or change paths and such things.
