How I wish I had a working 1541 disk drive! I've got scores of programs on floppy disk that I wrote when I was 11-14 years old that I'd love to read again.
I doubt the disks are still readable, though. They haven't always exactly been stored properly.
- SwellJoe 16y agoYeah, I still have my Color 64 BBS boot disk, which had a bunch of custom games, graphics, and other stuff I made when I was about 12. I'd be amused to see that stuff again, though I also suspect it's probably long gone, since the disk has been passed from bookshelf to garage to attic to storage, etc. over the 20+ years since.
- noonespecial 16y agoI found my old C64 in my parents basement. Just before I ebayed it, I hooked it up. The old disks were surprisingly resilient and my 300 baud modem still worked. I transferred many of the programs I wrote as a child in basic. It was damn near a visceral experience to hear Renegade whistle out its ancient tune as my C64 connected... I can now say that I have code I wrote when I was 10... and then goto ashamed.
