T_O_A_D Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Am I the only one to find this kinda awesome? Come on, Retro tech and nerd love combined. I personally prefer the days when I still had a 5 1/2 floppy I wonder did he have the program on the floppy causing it to seek that tune, or manipulating the drive it's self from some outside source of voltage or something?

One can write a program at device driver levels... if you get that close to the hardware, you could make it do these things... like move the heads, change the speed of the disk etc. (Device drivers are basically programs too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days??? Mate, the Egyptians are still using the 1980s version of the M1A1 Tank simulator to train their tank crews. These simulations still use 5 ¼ in floppies for loading the different programs. It’s a different world over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
