'''Data PD''' was run between 1990 and 1992 by [[Tony Kingsmill]], and was generally believed to be reliable though not the cheapest of libraries. Data PD featured around 70 disks of software by 1992 with a strong emphasis on text adventures, although all types of software were available. The library featured a monthly paper newsletter which that users could obtain by sending a stamped addressed envelope.
This eventually became disc based providing a catalogue and news.
Although it enjoyed good relations with others libraries, Data PD generally had little involvement with other librarians. Data PD featured a number of times in [[Amstrad Computer User]] and [[Amstrad Action]]. For a time an autonomous cassette branch of the library was run by [[David Nagle]].
The library was eventually closed due to other commitments.
Some titles originating from Data PD are available for download on Tony's website [http://wwwloftcatsoftware.loftcat.orgfreex10host.com wwwloftcatsoftware.loftcat.orgfreex10host.com], along with scans of past newsletters and other information. Tony has also contributed Amstrad NC software and information to NCUS, and is also working on new Amstrad CPC software.
