Wissen auf Diskette: PC Flugzeug V1.5... eine definitiv etwas seltsame Edutainment Software für MS-DOS aus dem Jahre 1992. Fragt mich nicht. Ich archivier' den Kram nur! Viel Spaß! 😜

Ich hatte gestern noch ein paar Experimente mit neuen 3,5 Zoll Laufwerken gemacht und konnte einen deutschsprachigen Satz Windows 3.1 Disketten neu und vollständig per Greaseweazle auslesen. Die Datenträger stammen vom 4. August 1993.

Looks like Greaseweazle is also quite comfortable, reading these 1.68MB DMF disks with their 21 sectors per track. This is just beautiful! 😎 :computerfairies:

I just uploaded the original version of Lemmings for the Commodore Amiga to the Internet Archive. This is the international PAL release from 1991. I guess, it's nothing new or special, but this upload comes with good 600dpi scans of both diskettes, as well as KryoFlux streams and CT-RAW disk images. Have fun!

I spent a few bucks on a pair of original PAL diskettes of Lemmings for the Commodore Amiga. Lemmings was first released on February 14, 1991. These disks don‘t even have a valid file system, so I need to use them as CT-RAW or KryoFlux streams.
P.S. I just uploaded complete scans and disk images:

I was just listening to ATP Podcast, June 30 eposide, "And Do What?" (I'm a little behind in my listening).
The title is taken from the "Ask ATP" section of the show where someone wrote in asking what three vintage computers the hosts would like, if offered.
Responses were mixed, but early Macs and iOS devices were the main units discussed (and Casey's ThinkPads). Also discussed are those who just collect as an end in itself, and those who actually use these old systems. Getting them online was a big question for Marco.
I know I'm a little older than John, but I was surprised that no Apple II, C64, Atari 8-bits, etc. were mentioned, and I'm looking mainly at Marco who had the most to say about setting them up "and do what" then. How do you get programs onto these pre-internet computers?
I wanted to point out that there are a great many modern devices that make vintage computing much more approachable than the uninitiated may be aware of. I am the sort of collector that is primarily interested in using these systems, once acquired, and I have a room full of them -- most older than the systems discussed in the episode:
https://www.bytecellar.com/photo_pano.html
For most of my floppy-based systems, I've added various flash-based floppy disk emulation hardware and HD/large volume emulation hardware for others. Apple IIe, IIgs, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, my Amigas, NeXTstation, DOS 486, Tandy 1000, etc. As well, a few "WiFi modems" (serial to WiFi using ESP32 tech) get passed around to let them connect to my modern systems or the internet directly. There's a great deal of modern, enabling hardware for those in the hobby.
I use these systems quite often. None are my daily drivers, but one or two is usually on, doing something, on any given day. I'm not browsing the web on these, but demos, games, chat clients, data (tracker mods, video, etc.) streaming -- there's even a Mastodon client running on my 5x86 that actually does the TLS locally and supports image attachments.
There's a lot you can do with systems rather older than those discussed on the show, I'm here to say. :-)

I'm still having a blast with Quicktake for Apple II from @colin_mcmillen. It's pretty cool (and rather geeky) to be walking around in public these days with a QuickTake 200 in my pocket. :-P
And new features are on the way...

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.

A floppy disk that fought back. 💾💥
KV300 antivirus (1996) came on special disks with hidden, un-copyable tracks. If it caught a pirated copy? It triggered a “logic bomb” — locking your hard drive until you manually repaired the partition table.
The police fined the company $400.
But for a while? Piracy had never been so dangerous.

I unimpressively missed #sepTandy, and so am belatedly posting this (with my head hung low). For shame...
