Booting from a Windows 98 SE floppy disk

I got the #floppy drive for my Dell #D630 !

First try booting the Windows 98 boot disk in my other post failed due to an I/O error, but all other attempts have worked (it booted up :O ).

#HaikuOS doesn't work well with it right now. Research turned up the fact that Haiku has a "usb_floppy" driver, however, and the D630 seems to use USB in its module bay. Digging around in /dev, I found a char special file for the device (see alt text).

Picked up some #floppyDisk​s at a #garageSale for a buck!

I also bought a floppy drive for my trusty Dell #D630 laptop's module bay. I'll be taking class notes on these... or at least backing my notes up to them so the drive doesn't make too much noise during class when I save.

So... which of these might be unreliable? Sony, #Fujifilm , TDK, #Maxell ?
The 2nd one in my hand doesn't have any brand labeling... gonna save that for unimportant stuff.

All Hail the Elder Gods!

The #ShittyCameraChallenge has been re-born! I have one shitty camera for each day... at least until the end of the year! And because merely using a shitty camera isn't masochistic enough, I'll try to capture a matching #FotoVorschlag motive every day! Today it's 'Candle / candle light', and I open with the 2001 Sony Mavica FD92

Edited, in what can only be described as painfully 😂, on a 400MHz #imacG3 and #lightroom2

Was just curious to see how it was vs the G4 and G5. Spoiler alert... slower ;)

The first #ShittyCameraChallenge month is over. All my shitty Samsung WiFi cameras also have shitty displays, and why not create a collage of "Roses in the rain" from the shitty SH100, and photograph it with the Mavica FD92 for a triple-shitty art installation!?

Another #ShittyCameraChallenge example. These are another example of 1.3 megapixel #VintageDigitalCamera loveliness via a Sony FD85 #FloppyDisk based camera which was found (I kid you not) in a sopping wet camera bag here in Glasgow, on waste ground back during the icy hard frost days (yeah last week Ho Ho).
Works perfectly. #photography #FloppyDiskSquad

Today my Sony #Mavica FD-92 finally arrived! It was quite an adventure: I shopped it used from France, and it took exactly a month to negotiate with the seller, coordinate shipping, and to get it delivered (shipping only took 5 days)!

I blame the #FloppyDiskSquad for the inspiration, but especially @emsquared

It works like a charm (#1) and had a 0.5x converter bundled (#2).

Also here's some #Konqi (#3) and @tvpin (#4) 😀

#ShittyCameraChallenge, #FloppyDiskSquad, #SonyMavica. Made the most of a little downtime during birthday celebrations in Picton yesterday. When the birthday "girl" wants to post things, and you want a shot or two of the town's Christmas decorations, grab the opportunity with both hands...

Giving the MVC-FD83 a little bit of love out in the backyard. Only got 3 shots off before a disk error forced me back inside to sort stuff out.

@ShittyCameraChallenge
#ShittyCameraChallenge, #FloppyDiskSquad, #SonyMavica. I think there might be a Christmas theme developing... As an aside, I had to try the glasses on Addi (the screen addict) to see what they looked like on her. They make a change from her having a smartphone stuck to her nose.

Wasgij is a series of jigsaws where the picture on the box is NOT the picture on the puzzle. The box also gives you clues as to what's in the puzzle picture. Finished this week.

#ShittyCameraChallenge, #FloppyDiskSquad, #SonyMavica. ... And it's SUPPOSED to be SUMMER! (I'll probably end up bitching again when places across New Zealand are hitting temps around 30°C...)

#ShittyCameraChallenge, #FloppyDiskSquad, #SonyMavica. Some of the spoils from my Lions club's dinner meeting last night. We had a Secret Santa of handmade bits & bobs. Man, there are some talented Lions in my club.

@Elias @Howard @ShittyCameraChallenge ... Oh yes, Mavicas are 100% Shitty compliant. And you can join us in the #FloppyDiskSquad.

@tapasinthesun @daveroberts ... Join us in the #FloppyDiskSquad, the more the merrier (and they're better than one might think).

@daveroberts woohoo! #FloppyDiskSquad rides again!

With the Hoya 720nm Infrared filter we get a lovely response. This is a colour image with the infrared filter held in front of the lens. I was thrilled with the infrared response of this camera, much better than from the Sony Mavica (sorry, #FloppyDiskSquad). #VintageDigital #Infrared

@nick ... Fabulous photo, love the droplets. One for the #FloppyDiskSquad. Fear not, this is always the last ShittyCameraChallenge ... until the next one.

Reading floppy disks in 2023? Easy :blobfox:.

@jasonnab ... Wonderful, and welcome to the #FloppyDiskSquad.

Extremely happy to finally own a #Sony #MAVICA camera, a digital camera that uses a floppy disk as storage! MVC-FD90

And yes, that is in fact the floppy disk to Sony Memory Stick adapter, which came free with this flea-market find; but I feel like using it is cheating a bit, especially if you have a Memory Stick to Memory Stick Duo adapter (insert Xhibit Yo Dawg meme).
