(Or maybe the video below) Geez, I actually remember I’m actually old enough to remember MTV when it came on the air. I specifically sat and watched it. I wanted that excitement and feeling about this post. Too bad the first video wasn’t appropriate. Not because of lyrics, nudity, etc. Because it was called, appropriately, “Video Killed The Radio Star”…

Disk Drive Dilemmas: Tech Triumphs and Tribulations
(Holding at T-minus one) NOW whats the holdup Tuc? So I was just doing some of the final prep to get things going, when I ran into an issue. I was trying to make a backup of my boot disk for the 0 drive. Given the age, possible alignment and head issues, I wanted to have a few backups of…

Sorry, no tricking, yes, we have one more diversion until I get back to the actual RACS III system. But it’s for a good reason, I promise. Given the fact there is only one real…
Exploring TRS-80 Virtualization and File Management Tools
Is that Arizona? (Quite a long left turn) I feel like that bunny (No, not Barbie Benton) It was really great to be able to use these images as virtual drives in the Model I, but given I had problems getting the 2nd drive to be physical (I think it was probably a terminating resistor issue, but I contacted Gotek…
