    Are you old enough to have ever loaded programs off audio cassettes?

    My first REAL computer was an Amstrad CPC464 with greenscreen, I got a LOT of use out that and was so happy the day I upgraded to a colour screen, it was like living in the god-damn future.

    Wow.. I feel old now..

    it took an eternity to save my c64 basic programs to casette.. and I was a compulsive when it came to saving

    the 1541 disk drive was heaven compared to that..

    Yes, but admittedly I never have. My first machine was a TRS-80 III, but I never had the tape drive for it. Recently at work I found a big box of VHS backup tapes. I lol'd.

    I loaded programs from cassette on both my apple 2e and c64. both systems had 5.25 floppy drives too, but some of the programs I used came on cassette.

    on the c64 at least, you could make digital audio samples from music cassettes, which was a pretty neat thing at the time. the machine only had enough ram to hold a few seconds though.

    yes

    I kept a catalogue of where all the programs were saved on tape.. I must've had about 10-12 60 minute cassettes' worth of programs I'd written for the VIC20 and C64.. I even got around to writing my own turbotape program, although it wasn't terribly reliable..

    All that aside, yes, yes I am. The days when I'd spend hours with a tape in the drive, only to have it fail to read halfway through and to have to take it out, do the NES-Blow on the tape deck and the tape itself to get the dust loose, and try all over again, just for the joy of watching an egg with legs get crushed by various things and spin around in retarded ways.

    Fuck you Dizzy, fuck you.

    Actually, I've been trying to find one of those games for quite some time now... but I'm lacking luck on the emulator sites... I think it was called football manager or premiership manager... something like that... any tips?

    Those external drives always seemed so unnecessarily bulky - I mean, look at this, the case seems so tacked-on, you can just imagine yanking out the drive mechanism and putting it into an ATX case or something. Even in 1985 or whatever, they could have slimmed down.

    I think some of the old external drives had board as complex as their host computers in them.

    >>4827843

    And that was probably a stock case. Some external drives from that age were tiny, all the way down to 1/4 height, like when they stopped making them.

    someone recently (within last 6 years) released a vinyl record album with a program on the b-side. One had to make a cassette dub of the b-side in order to load the program onto a spectrum. Does anyone recall which band this is/was?
