Glad to see a Datassette story about actual datasettes, and not just stealing the name for something else.
Mine still work, and I have used one of them with one of my C64s recently.
- simonw 3y agoI thought naming my software after the device I learned to program on ~35 years ago (and that stopped being manufactured in the 1990s) would be a nice way to honor its legacy... and would give me a useful unique search term to track when people were talking about my software. Jokes on me: it turns out the retro C64 community still talks about the original Datasette all over the internet on a weekly basis!
