Good morning Bitcoinland.
Vegeta still putting up a pretty good fight... currently $8866USD/$12444CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
The calm before the halving.
Go Bitcoin go.
you techies with your advanced devices. pfffft
still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives.
my Columbia IBM clone has a cassette interface too but i never used it. those full height 5.25 floppies were the bomb.
EDIT the TRS-80 also had several 8 inch floppies hooked to it at one point.
I had to jump through hoops to get a 5.24" floppy connected to my TRS-80 CoCo... a massive 3rd-party 512 KB external memory upgrade, a FDD controller unit from a different 3rd party, and the drive itself which weighed more than the computer.
It let me install OS-9 (6809) and run Deskmate with a GUI. I used a joystick instead of a mouse though.
Those were the days.

As for attempting data recovery from HDDs, I'll stick to my SSDs and most importantly, backups. Never had an SSD fail and I've been using them since the days of PATA. It's hard to recover data from a HDD head crash.

You guys with your stacked terabyte HDD’s. I’ll stick to the 1.44 MB not so floppy disks, conveniently strung together with a little help of ARJ. Even has a read only switch for eternal storage. Who needs blockchains.
