I need to find my point and shoot camera so I can write the scripting needed to drive the autoloader, kryoflux, and camera to have it automatically run through a stack of 3.5 |

the autoloader ejects the disk and the camera takes a picture |

dashcloud |
it's probably not, but he's probably taking a page from the VHS conversion folks- cheap for single ones, but rather expensive in bulk, and the equipment costs just enough to make it not worth your while to do it yourself |
00:30
🔗
|
Paradoks |
I think that's the real problem; $20 for the first floppy isn't massively expensive, but converting a stack of 20 disks for $400 seems really excessive. |

dashcloud: Re: csoon.com. Running the same command you did, the coming-soon directory ended up with 3,167 items, totaling 68.9 MB. The warc.gz file portion is 37.3 MB. It looks about like how things looked with Splinder and Mobile Me, but, again, I'm far from being an expert. |

<NotGLaDOS> Simply rip them open, and use them like a normal SATA drive! |

<NotGLaDOS> they're just normal hard drives with a SATA to Mini-USB converter built in and casing. |
16:30

not so much anymore. WD actually manufactures hard drives with built-in USB, partly because people would do this. |

yes, but that's not all drives. |

you can use a standard drive to copy the front side of c64 disks, but if you want the back side you either need to modify the drive or cut up your disks |
20:14

or use the 1541C drive I have? :p |

yes that works too |

once the upload script finishes is it completely 100% safe to blindly assume everything went ok? |

you're definitely tied for number 1- this guy did some rather impressive feats- he re-did his HP thin client to have SATA ports, and didn't have a spare PCIe for GigE, so he desolders the GPU and reuses that connection http://hackaday.com/2011/11/26/rebuilding-a-mac-se-as-a-server-again/ |
