iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Not all drives required index holes.

It usually worked just fine. I have dozens of Atari formatted 5 1/4 floppies from my youth and those primarily still read and write all these years later.

Damn it. Now that Creepy Castle theme song is stuck in my head.

😂 I think the notcher cost me $2 at the Sears Surplus Store in my town. But yes, the hole punch was a common solution amongst most of the kids I knew.

I missed Paul from my Twitter days. Glad to see he's doing well.

With the A.I. companies buying up all of the computer storage these days, I'd like to offer up the solution we used in the 1980's to double our storage for free. You are welcome. #old

I had this running all day at work today and when it was time for me to go home I legitimately felt guilty about turning it off. Silly, but I grew attached to the little guy and turning off the computer just seemed wrong.

I am so tired of living in the most ridiculous timeline. Humankind was a mistake.

Back in the mid 1980's I was hopeful that Activision's Little Computer People was what artificial intelligence was all about. I had a little dude & his dog hanging about in their little house doing little dude & dog things. I could interact with them if I wanted or I could just let them be. #AtariST

I bought my Atari 400 with paper route and Xmas cash in 1981. People criticize its admittedly awful keyboard, but to 11 year old me it was magic. I still have the 400 and cherish it to this day.

I wasn't exactly clamoring for a pool table at age 4, but hey, I did get this awesome photo out of it.

I had not considered that as a possibility.

I got a pool table for Christmas in 1974 and you didn't.

If you want to actually use the Starpath Supercharger to load it you can, but it will load from a Harmony cart as well.

On to another #Atari 8bit excellent arcade port, Sierra's version of the Konami / Sega hit game Frogger! We Atari 8-bit kids sure had it good before that pesky Commodore 64 arrived.
