  11. All this talk of the best keyboards ... on A Condensed History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1, Funny
    IBM M type blah blah. You whippersnappers had it good. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81, no springs, no feedback. Exactly like typing on a keyboard printed on paper and it was about 8 by 4 inches.

    I got a quasi-auditory feedback by turning on FAST mode where the TV screen would blank on each keypress and the CRT kinda hissed when it happened.

    On the whole I can type faster on a cell phone keypad than on that PoS.

    For this, I nominate the ZX-81 keyboard WORST KEYBOARD EVER.

  16. Audio cassette player on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Who says cassettes are dead??

    A tape transport ripped from a car radio could easily fit into a 5in drive bay, the audio in/out spliced into the soundcard.

    Advanced project: implement an interface to the Play/Reverse/Stop/Rew/FF via Parallel, serial or USB port and its corresponding MCI driver or IOCTL block device.

  17. Re:another PC? on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 1
    One I was working on with my junk,one that is still sitting uncompleted of course with my other unfinished projects, would be some way to have a vcr in there, the slot appears just large enough to accept a VHS cartridge.

    Unfortunately, this will never work. VCRs don't work like audio tapes: They actually pull out 8-9 inches of tape to wrap around a spinning (3600rpm) drum containing the video heads, the transport mechanism would add 3 to 4 inches to the depth/width required, exceeding the width of the drive bay.

    However, this would work great with 8MM or DV tapes from camcorders.

    So after wiping a magnet all over the disk, I booted it up, and the game worked fine -except- the screen was inverted

    Nothing to do with the magnet. That was an easter egg. The Karateka for Apple ][ had a copy of the game on the flip side of the floppy (remember single side floppies?). When booted floppy upside down, you'd get Karateka umop apisdn.
