DVHS on a Budget

Posted by Zonk on from the scissored-ingenuity dept.

Kerhop writes "ecoustics.com has an article on how to convert SVHS tapes to work in DVHS recorders which is similar to modifying a floppy drive (like we did years ago) to double the storage. There's two holes on a DVHS cassette and a single hole on the SVHS tape. The hole common to both permits DVHS tapes to handle SVHS signals; the hole unique to DVHS is what we want to focus on. Just cut off the top four to five millimeters of the pin within the recorder itself."

    please, would you mind disinvolving US from those murder for
    money/power/real estate schemes, which are causing harm to many of the
    creators' innocents, as well as being negatively upsetting to the entire
    world.

    also, please, do not give over our meager retirement allowances to those
    whoreabull felons on wall st. of deceit. there must be some other way to
    satiate their unending need for excess.

    thank you very much for your attention to these matters.

    No, you idiot, they announced it was dental floss, not a toothbrush! (Everyone knows the toothbrush hack is for upgrading vinyl.)

    And I have no idea what I just said.

    Good night, padded room. I go to sail on my bar of soap across galaxies of hard drives.
