Administrators Nathan Posted February 27, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone ever seen these setup with old floppy drives? It's cool how they can make them do this.

SpikeTheLobster Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Pfff, amateurs. This is the REAL Imperial March: And this is just so brilliant that all else becomes unimportant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeTheLobster Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 And this... well, this is quite simply the most awesome thing ever. A ZX Spectrum playing music and emulating VOICE... truly a work of genius (and someone who has far too much time on their hands): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxz630u7YlQ Music starts just over a minute in (the first bit is simply to show it's really loading and running a program).

bryce12 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It looks amazing, people are so innovative. I remember one of my friends used to create small programs in C that would play music when it was run. I don't know how he did that but the results were always amazing.

digitalink01 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Wow! Is this the future of music? How's this even possible? Has science gone that far? haha. Kidding aside, these are very creative. I wish I were the one who came up with this. Nah-who am I kidding. I can't even do HTML properly. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHiLL Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The Imperial March video has to be my favourite. It's fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreso93 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hahaha, that's awesome. I didn't knew that you can do that with floppy drives. Geez, I remember we used them in schools up until '08 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted March 20, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2012 08? Ever heard of a thumb drive? lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreso93 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well, they use old PCs in schools, so floppy disks were still in use. I mean, 3.5mbs are enough to save couple of word files and things like that, and they were pretty cheap, so during a test we would just give the floppy disk to the professor and he would evaluate our work/test or whatever we were doing. Damn, I miss them, gonna install a floppy drive in my PC now xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted March 20, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2012 I still have a usb one, but never have any use for it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreso93 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You just gave me an idea to check the stores if they're selling floppy discs still. I don't recall seeing them in stores for a while now, maybe they've quit selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayRSD Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wow the picture of the guy with the floppy is really funny. I enjoyed those pictures. I feel sorry for the next generation that will have no idea what floppy drives are ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinN Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Looks very cool. Too bad I don't have like 5-10 leftovers that I could use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psufootball Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ah just seeing the words floppy drive brings back some good memories haha. I always liked floppy discs, they felt satisfying to use, certainly more so than thumb drives or SD cards. I mean comeon, they had an eject button. Now the only time you see that is with CD/DVDs, it doesn't look as cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
