I remember when Gordon Reid lambasted the Waldorf Q in an SoS review for not not including a floppy drive. Boy what a visionary that guy was.
ReplyDeleteThat is the almighty Casiotone MT-30.
ReplyDeleteNobody's had floppies since Viagra.
ReplyDeleteWell my prophet 2002 (still going strong )still loves 'em when I stuff em in the slot...and the feeling is reciprocal....me thinks someone is wrestling with the old riddle of whether it is worse to find out the first time you can't do it a second time or the second time you discover you can't do it a first time....or as the old dick said to the young dick....I used to be like you..... but soon... you will be like me ....sheesh....sublimate it dude , go make a riff if you can't get a stiff
ReplyDeleteOh hell, I've got a few 8" floppies lying around somewhere. I used to work on a PDP-11 that had the RX01 8" floppy drives that sounded like pinball machines. The computer ran V7 Unix, and one mild amusement was to image a file system on a floppy, mount it for write, and then copy some files around. Some random time later you'd hear the things clacking away as the operating system got around to flushing the delayed-write buffers.
