Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...
I've taken some time out from working on SuperRAM to resolve my hard drive woes for once and for all. I bought a 500GB SSD and installed it in my laptop. After two bouts of copying data over USB (five hours) I now have a spritely, quick booting, feisty laptop back, with super fast storage. Now, back...

Re: Hello from Upstate New York
I'm from Texas. Sometimes, I look outside and it's sunny, then I look outside again and it's still sunny!

My previous boot time was 1m 42s, through USB2 with an external drive because the internal drive had died. With the SSD, it's 7 seconds. Safari used to take 16 seconds to launch. N...

Re: has anyone tried reversing polarity on microdrive motor
The tape is spooled onto the outside of the loop, and drawn from the inside. There's no way to run the tape in reverse. Instead of the loop going to the inside of the spool it would simply tangle at the capstan. Don't think of it as the tape being pushed to the outside of the loop - always think of ...

Re: Ethernet chit chat...
I think it's completely feasible to replace the NET routines with code that encapsulates it and redirects it to ethernet, transparently to the program itself.
