Wow, the fact that you can't move this 'Maxell' walkman when playing music kinda defeats the object, no?

Retro meets nykypäivä: Maxellilta modernit korvalappustereot, jotka toistavat C-kasetteja, mutta latautuvat USB-C:n kautta ja joihin voi yhdistää Bluetooth-kuulokkeet

[Перевод] В 1985 году компания Maxell создала множество роботов в натуральную величину для своей неудачной рекламы дискет

Автор блога Such Bad Tech Ads вспоминает необычную рекламную кампанию 80-х гг., которую запустил производитель дискет Maxell. Для ролика создали целый парк роботов, а некоторые из них попали в Музей компьютеров.

🎉 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. 🙄

In 1985 Maxell built a bunch of life-size robots for its bad floppy ad

@thomasfuchs One day the Compact Floppy Disks / CF-2 will rise again. Mark my words! And as an adapter, hell, you could fit a CF card in there.

(I bought one of these drives and used it as D2 on a used Apple IIe I grabbed from the local newspaper classifieds back in 1987 or so -- only ever had four blank disks, so it didn't get a lot of use. Was novel, though, especially here in the states.)

UPDATE: Oh, I wrote a blog post about this a few years back:

MAXELL XLII

I had several tapes like this in the late 1980's all because wanted a great sound from CDs.
I really loved those tapes.

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.

Maxell MXCP-P100S is another modern portable cassette player, this time with a speaker

Last month Maxell introduced a new portable cassette player for the Japanese market that combines retro features (it’s… a portable tape cassette player) with modern touches (like a rechargeable battery, USB-C port, and Bluetooth audio support).

Now the company has added another model to the lineup. The new Maxell MXCP-P100S has all the features of the previously-announced MXCP-P100, plus […]

Une cassette neuve encore emballée, toujours bon à choper pour quelques centimes en vide-grenier.

Je me demande de quelle année celle--ci date, rien sur le packaging à ce propos, mais c'est du très commun.

Maxell MXCP-P100 is a portable cassette player with modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C

The Maxell MXCP-P100 is a portable music player that mixes old-school and modern features. Like any good modern device, it has a built-in rechargeable battery and a USB Type-C port for charging. And it has both a headphone jack and support for Bluetooth 5.4, allowing you to use wired or wireless headphones or speakers.

But this isn’t an MP3 player. It’s a portable cassette player. The […]

CASSETTE MAXELL UD46 [Japan, 1980]

Had some of them, where so good, especially if recorded from high-end sound systems.

❝The blown-away effect conveyed the power of the music in an exaggerated but effective way, purporting to show that #Maxell tapes could deliver an immersive listening experience unlike any other — whether it be the first time, or the hundredth time.❞ https://www.analogplanet.com/content/tale-tape-spotlight-maxell-origin-blown-away-guy-and-comeback-cassettes

Trying to fix a Koonlung K1S, a probably long-term project. [plus downloads]
The Koonlung K1S is a very nice dashcam, with GPS, emergency button and HD recording and everything is made quite small. The HD video has a bit of a low bit rate, but it’s still not bad. That said, it became a piece of rubbish. No matter what kind of SD card is inserted, the software locks up…

Had a Sony MiniDisc player MZ R-55 in the late 1990's, and now that's what I still have from that time.
Hoping to have another MiniDisc player again in year 2023.

Zijn hier nog mensen die ik blij kan maken met wat ongebruikte Maxell cassettebandjes (en een Sony DAT tape)?
Ik heb ergens ook nog wel een potlood liggen dat je erbij kunt krijgen 😉

Pour tous vos enregistrements sur musicassette, abandonnez #Maxell ou #TDK. Exigez la qualité Made In France avec les cassettes Superferro C97 WIFI. Vivement la version 802.11be.

We used to go to the record store in a small group.

Each buy our own vinyl, and pool some money for a big box of #Maxell tapes

First gen copies for all our friends!

Needed them for our in dash decks, and our Walktheys.
