This weds three of my favorite things - old tech, Star Wars and music.

Anyone got 12 floppy disk drives on hand?

Edit: the interesting part starts at 0:55

The saddest, dullest porn video I ever saw.

WOOOPS
NVM XD

I didn't see the world "porn" there.

You've become quite cynical lately. It makes me sad.

I've also seen videos of a dot matrix printer making music.

In particular, I remember finding a video of one playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

This never became a big thing because it flopp(i)ed.

This thread is the soundtrack to my youth.

For all my antipodean compadres

Man, this has quickly become my favorite thread in a long time. Very entertaining. :)
After checking out a number of the Floppotron videos it really reminds me of C64 music. Sound-wise it does have some striking similarities.

You know, I'm fucking tired of this convoluted bullshit :-P

Please use your floppy drive to READ AND FORMAT ACTUAL DISKS and not to do this useless parody of chiptune music...

I don't know. I don't really know you beyond our interactions here. But at some point this year particularly you've just become cynical. It's not inherently bad. But you have to remember to smile every now and again. Maybe I'm way off and you're happy, but your posts on GOG don't really reflect that anymore. Maybe you're right and it's just a phase you're going through. I certainly hope so. The world is a pretty bleak place and even moreso when you don't remember to smile.

Anyhow. Enough derailing.


Woot for innovative ways to use obsolete tech like floppy drives and dot matrix printers.

Now for some sweet, sweet oscilloscope action
