About Jumpdisk
Jumpdisk was a monthlydisk magazine for Commodore Amiga computers.
Rather than reading a traditional printed magazine, users booted or accessed the floppy disk on their Amiga to view the issue’s digital content.
Period users describe Jumpdisk issues as containing material such as:
- Programs
- Utilities
- Graphics
- Pictures
- Animation
- Music
- Reader contributions
- Interactive magazine content
This makes original surviving Jumpdisk disks interesting both as vintage Amiga software and as examples of early electronic publishing.
