Outsoftware · ZX Spectrum · DISCiPLE / +D
Historical archive
The original floppy disks tell a chapter of Outsoftware’s history: game and utility compilations, and multiload conversions for the DISCiPLE and +D interfaces.
From tape to floppy
The main series starts in April 1987 and documents work through 1993. Outsoft compiled, adapted and compressed programs for the Spectrum 48K and 128K; Squonk produced multiload conversions that could read subsequent game parts from floppy disk. The original archive note credits Outsoft with the compilations and Squonk with the multiload conversions.
Outsoft 1987–1993
154 disks in the Outsoft series, begun in April 1987 and continued through 1993: Spectrum 48K and 128K game compilations, disk conversions, multiload releases and contemporary programs. The DISCiPLE and +D multiload conversions are by Squonk.
