Very cool, but where did the record come from? Was bootable vinyl ever actually a thing? I'm old enough to remember the cassette era and I never saw bootable vinyl before today. Or did they somehow do a custom press from an audio recording?
- inopinatus 6y agoHey, some of us old-timers fondly remember the natural warmth, presence, and low syscall latency of operating systems booted from vinyl.
- bregma 6y agoNot to mention spending hours pouring over the release notes on the album covers. The implementation detail in a gatefold cover for a dual-boot album could be intense.

- lisper 6y agoDamned if I know. For all I know the whole booting from vinyl thing could be an elaborate prank.
