had a PC and an oscilloscope - thus, a lab ;-) - and they were complaining that their 10 Mb hard disk was full and would have to be cleared. I could not understand how on earth was it posible to fill that much space! X-)
How bout a Commodore VIC20 with an audio tape drive hanging off the back.
Ah, yes; a friend had one of those. Nice keyboard, specially compared to the Sinclair Spectrum I had access to.
And the Commodore 64 manual said **not** to put a 180k 5-1/4 floppy disk into the drive with the system off or the drive light on. No way.
Funny. I saw a chap with a few minitapes (microdrives?) daisy chained to his spectrum, and we thought that neat and fast, compared with the audio tape we normally used. Half an hour to load the flight simulator or the Lord of the Rings, and then somebody fell and switched off the thing for a second. He nearly went (propelled by the rest of us) over the window! X-) But this is way off-topic now; so... will you try linux on it? just to stay on topic, you understand :-p -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
