🎉 Wow, congratulations, you cracked the RSA keys from the 90s! 🥳 Next, maybe you can teach us how to use a floppy disk! 💾🔓 Meanwhile, the rest of us will be busy in 2023, dealing with quantum computing and AI, but hey, nice job on that decade-old math problem! 🚀🙃

Hey everyone! I'm trying something new today!

I just started a new folder on the Internet Archive, where I will upload various floppy disk dumps, made from my Greaseweazle. Mostly stuff already available somewhere else, but dumped as raw Greaseweazle streams. I will add more stuff to this folder over time, but this will always be pretty much unsorted, quick & dirty. You get the idea... 😉

I'm using the official IBM CD-ROM and "CDTODISK.BAT" to create working setup images of PC DOS 7.0 in the standard 1.44MB floppy disk format. While this is still running, I am simultaneously testing the written disks using another virtual machine. It works! 😎

Wife's idea. It worked! 😂😎

DISCLAIMER: Don't do this. I'm neither a doctor nor a scientist and this probably isn't safe.

Using software written in 2026 (by @colin_mcmillen) on a computer released in 1983 to extract digital photos from a digital camera released in 1994.

Apple QuickTake 200 connected via serial to my 128K enhanced Apple IIe (video output via composite to CRT and to LCD via VidHD video card) with "large" volumes mounted via CFFA3000 flash storage card.

The 640x480 camera images (JPEGs) are decoded and scaled for display in the double high-res graphics mode at 560x192 monochrome pixels. Just lovely.

One of the lovely prints by Melissa Barron that I brought home with me from INIT HELLO 2026. A portrait of an Apple IIe adorning my Apple IIe.

Original is acrylic on gessboard.

Looking at some demos on the Apple IIe.

Doing a bit of spring cleaning in the "Wing Commander" retro folder. So many different versions and formats, for MS-DOS alone!

Game Preservation is important! :computerfairies:

A 386 at 25MHz and 4MB RAM is the perfect system for playing the original Wing Commander. The game was super sensitive to the CPU speed and often ran way too fast on modern CPUs... like a 486DX! 😂
