How Many Phones Sport A 5 And 1/4 Diskette Drive? This One.

"It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone."

@strypey Actually, my nickname is not due to the game (which I admit has a very cool soundtrack), but due to unrelated another, unrelated character (as well as characteristics of me)

Indeed it does! For anyone who hasn't heard it, here's Rob Hubbard's original chiptune for MOTR;

"Disk Nibbler". I made this #c64 multicolor mode picture for a #demoscene demoparty that was going to happen this weekend, but got canceled. It is a screenshot from VICE of the executable .PRG with some CRT effects added.

For me retro Computing Hardware is like legacy PA Audio Hardware.

It stays in the past

I leave it where it is {which is way in the past} and I just work with the digital versions.

New resurrected versions of Retro Hardware have the same problems as the A4000T when I bought it. Production is low which makes the price extremely high and repairs even more expensive

I have multiple functioning SID chips so if I want to do a project I'll just get myself yap Raspberry Pi5 {I'll save for it} and I make a project where I generally the songs from an actual SID chip.

yap = yet another pie

Been having a think about how we got stuff on our computers before internets, and some "retro experience" emulator someone mentioned, and I think I want to get a blank floppy, hook it up to my C64, and type in some programs from magazines.

I used to hate doing that, but this is what nostalgia goggles do to you, isn't it?

Yo! Today's #BandcampFriday. I don't have anything new, but try something you haven't heard from my #bandcamp, it sure would mean a lot!

(BTW, I'm moving part of @bloopmuseum to its new spot today, where I have more room to work on new #music!)

Managed to get a Commodore 64 AEA User port to TNC cable.
* Trying to find the manual or details
* Looking for an image of the original PackRatt Software for the Commodore 64 if possible?

Anyone in the Fediverse able to help? 😊 Thanks!
