Amiga disks on PC: Copy program G-Copy 0.8

G-Copy by Arne Urbaniak is a Windows program that uses Keir Fraser's Greaseweazle, D. Tonn's ADF-Drive or Rob Smith’s DrawBridge (Arduino) to create backup copies to and from HD, USB, SD cards and, of course, floppy disks.

The latest version, 0.8, includes bug fixes and improvements: G-Copy now supports copying from DF0 to DF1 and HD/USB/SD or DF1 to DF0 and HD/USB/SD at the same time.

🎉 In 1985, #Maxell thought life-size #robots devouring #floppy #disks was a killer ad idea. 🤖💾 Fast-forward to now, and it's just a relic of bad #tech marketing—imagine thinking robots are the future when your floppies can't even hold a single cat meme. 🙄

ADFDiskBox is a graphical user interface for the Greaseweazle Host Tools and is intended to simplify the reading and writing of Amiga disks and disk images (ADF, SCP:AmigaDOS, RawSCP).

With version 2.6.3, saving settings should now work again.

Days since I installed Debian on a new computer and completed a complex manual partitioning scheme involving stacked md, dmcrypt, and lvm while forgetting to create an EFI system partition, and so having to do the whole thing over from scratch:

0.

Argh. The installer should warn you about this earlier in the process. I always forget because I only do this every 3 or 4 years.

🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of #booting #BeOS on a #Hitachi FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like juggling #floppy #disks and boot managers in the era of #Y2K panic. 🤖💾

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.

I just added some wings to my old hd in an old box and also screws in the bottom of the drives to effect a bit more airflow - better than the duct ape brick i had before #heat soak #heat islands #spin down #standby time #disks
