Those square screws are called Robertson. They're very popular in Canada (where they were invented) but not so much elsewhere.

hi vwestlife! didnt expect to see u here.

[@thebootknifer]

They are so much better than Philips screws.

[@thecookiemonstergaming3089]

VWestlife I work in a welding shop and the only reason I knew the name is due to the fact its part of the welding certification test

[@clemire83]

Side note, Henry Ford wanted to use the Robertson because it is superior but using them would have required him to pay a royalty.

[@azzajohnson2123]

Hey VWestlife! We use them here in Australia for Decking screws. Drilling into decking planks, very good torque and the bit never jumps out of the screw when you over tighten causing damage to the wood. Come to think of it they should be using these inside computers instead of philips heads or those terrible torx

[@VK3NFI]

I worked in a camera/computer/electronics shop back in the day and sold a few of these.. ah the memories

[@arduria538]

My dad bought a Commmdore PC 10-III, which I imagine is the model right before the PC 20. It was my very first IBM compatible PC made by the only company that I previously had computer experience with (I had a Commodore 64 and later a Commodore 128). Once I got the 10-III, I never looked back, moving forward with other IBM compatible PC's. :)

[@johalun]

arduria We had the 10-II iirc. Me and dad was always fighting over if the screen should be in normal or inverted b/w mode (I preferred white text on black background) :) Shortly after this I got a C64 and stayed far away from PCs...

[@Shifter-1040ST]

Back in school we had a classroom stocked with PC-10 and PC-20s and learned programming in Turbo Pascal. We used to laugh at these machines, they appeared so clunky and pathetic compared to our Atari STs and Amigas at home.

[@ApolloSniperman]

I never thought I’d get enjoyment from watching a guy open his mail

[@Travellerwiz]

LOL.. Westlock, Alberta.. Just a few miles from where I was born.. Damn the world is small.. I really did "Laugh out Loud" when you said you needed to go to the store to buy a square bit (called Robertson in Canada). EVERYTHING is square drive up in the frozen poophole of hoth. Its really a Canadian thing. When we moved onto our sailboat (in the Caribbean), I brought a TON of stainless screws with us. All Robertson drive. I have never found a Robertson driver in the 4 years we have been away from Canada. P.S. you can drive square heads with a flat head of the right size. If its the right size it will fit "corner to corner" in the square hole and work fine (as long as the hulk didn't tighten them).

[@mitchherriot853]

I laughed at that too! good ol' robertson!

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

robertson drive screws are everywhere in modern-ish electrical light fittings here in the UK

[@lerkzor]

Northcentral USA here, Robertson drive fasteners are used in the construction trades - not exclusively, and in my opinion a Torx fastener could be used instead, but you do see them often enough that we have a selection of bit sizes to deal with them as we find them in my trade.

[@MarcKloos]

I used to do CAD on a Commodore PC 20-III when I started at the company I'm still working at, 29 years ago. We also had a PC 60, which was a huge tower model with a 386 and 200Mb harddrive. Seeing that PC 20 surely brings back memories.

[@BlackEpyon]

It's kind of a niche. I prefer Tandy myself, but you start to loose the appeal of these unique brand names when they adopt the generic PC compatibility. Maybe that's just me. Tandy was one of the first to be truly IBM/DOS compatible (even if the hardware was hit and miss), and that's what made them so popular (where the Commodore's was the low price) so it's not that surprising, but Commodore is remembered for systems like the VIC-20 and the C64, which weren't IBM/DOS compatible. So to me the PC-20 is just a PC with a Commodore label.

[@LMacNeill]

But I remember when the library got a brand new PC-10 III. No matter WHAT the computer was, if it looked different from what I was used to seeing, I was in AWE of them. Growing up in the 80's and 90's was the BEST time for computers.

Commodore PC 20, that brings back memories from when I was in high school. The first CD-ROM encyclopedia I ever used was on one of those machines. It was the 1989 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannia for MS-DOS. MS-DOS, the drivers for the SCSI card and the drivers for the external CD-ROM drive were all on one 360 Kb 5.25 inch floppy disk. The Commodore didn't even have a hard drive.

[@BeckyAnn6879]

You said 'Augie' perfectly. The superintendent in the 1990s of my HS was named Augie, short for Augustine. He was a really sweet guy.

[@GeekmanCA]

4:49 - "Unfortunately these are high-density, so I can't use them with Planet X3." Is there something I'm missing here? If I recall correctly, you can format higher-density floppies to lower-density formats, you just can't do vice-versa. Depending on the drive you're using, you may have to tape over the second corner-hole.

[@Octamed]

I think they aren't reliable because they've got a different material layout and density

[@HabadzaKalfa]

The physical difference between HD and DD floppies is that they use different ferrites for keeping up magnetic data. HD floppies are hence magnetized by stronger fields, and that is why DD-only drives can't deal with writing on them. Reading might work though, if the HD disk is first formatted to the lower size of DD, but I'm recalling that is not guaranteed either for all drives. On the other hand, it is possible to format at least 3.5" DD floppies to HD if you drill that HD hole on them first, but the disks won't then be very reliable. 5.25" floppies also might be more delicate with these things, as at least certain contemporary sources have warned that mere writing on a 5.25" DD floppy in a HD drive may render them unusable in a DD-only drive. I guess might yet experiment with these a bit some day.

[@RelakS__]

I drilled the missing hole to some DD floppies and I were able to use them az HD discs. I can't recall any problem with them, while some HD discs died under my hand. However, I still can't get why a higher storage capacity disc is not good for the Planet X3

[@BlackEpyon]

I've had no issue covering up the HD hole on 1.44MB floppies and formatting them as 720K. I do this a fair bit for my Tandy 1000HX, since 720K floppies are so hard to come by, but I've got boxes of useless 1.44MB floppies that I've just been overwriting and reusing. Do note though that if you're using a storage media (floppy or CF card) an XT system, you need to format it in the XT system before you transfer anything from a modern PC. Something funky about the way XTs did things that I haven't figured out yet, but I always have to format it in the XT first, otherwise it will never read it.

[@GeekmanCA]

@@BlackEpyon The more I think on this, the more I recall covering the HD hole and formatting HD floppies to 800K so I could move data between my (then) modern Mac and an old Mac Plus.

I recognized right away that they are basically keyboard emulators (hence the pass-through PS/2 connectors). The Folett scanners didn't need any special software (you could just scan a barcode directly into a text file or spreadsheet), but supposedly the CueCat needed special software to decode the barcodes IT was made for. I have no idea if CueCat could just be used a straight keyboard emulator without software.

[@15743_Hertz]

I remember the Cue Cat! The company wanted people to use it with their software to order products via barcode. That didn't go well, but another computer enthusiast hacked the software and found out a way to read the barcodes into his personal database. The Cue Cat then became very popular at that point and the company started sending cease and desist orders out to the hackers that were finding alternate uses for it. They wanted the Cue Cat to be used with only their software and no one else's! After much ruminating on the message boards, it was generally determined that the Cue Cat was produced and sold at cost or less so that people would purchase goods and services using the company's proprietary business model with them hoping it would recoup their losses that way. Needless to say, no one wanted to use the company's ordering system and it went belly up. Those were fun times!

RE Pengo - this was one of my favorite arcade games from way back in the day!

8:02 "THE 1-BYTE GUY" :-)

[@BlackEpyon]

Depends on what system. 8-bits became the standard for the byte sometime around the 70's, I'm not sure exactly when, but before that, everybody had their own definition for "byte," which could be anywhere from 6 to 12 bits long.

[@Dukep6]

One of the best channel's on KZbin! Keep up the good work!

[@forbiddencollabs]

Box is from Canada, uses Robertson Screws hahahahah!

[@FuzzyElf]

In a box somewhere, I have a Cue Cat still sealed in the envelope from when it was distributed at the CompUSA call center where I was working. I also have one or two CompUSA / Cue Cat shirts.

0:39 Why aren't you covering peoples private phone numbers? I've noticed you've neglected to do so several times over the years.

[@jessica23claire]

These unboxings are really relaxing to watch, for some reason.

[@pinfarmer]

How have you got through your whole life to this point not owning a Robertson bit..

[@chibichabot9293]

pinfarmer I have a whole set. I’ve never had to use them...yet

[@toooooooooooooooool]

lived 20 years in Canada, Robertson were everywhere. 20 years in the States, absolutely none to speak of.

[@TheIntentionStudios]

It's so bizarre seeing Americans react to Robertson screws.

[@gmugrumbach]

We are a strange peoples

[@ct6502-c7w]

Well...we really just don't use them in the US. We tend not to like working with oddball screws and bolts. We mostly use flathead screws, Phillips, or socket screws. Allen wrench screws really get on my nerves too.

[@TheIntentionStudios]

@@ct6502-c7w I don't wanna be rude or anything, but Phillips and slot screws are literally the worst things to use for everything but a very small amount of applications. Robertson screws are beautifully designed and fix near every problem you've ever had with slots and Phillips. It's the main drive type up here in Canada and I'm disappointed it isn't more widely adopted. If I see one more American woodworker on KZbin use Phillips wood screws I'm going to cry.

Great video, David! I love when you show CoCo stuff! John Hancock just did a review of Rikki & Vikki on his channel. Look forward to seeing what you think of the game! Keep up the good work, David!

As a Canadian I laughed at the fact that most Americans don't have Robertson drive bits. Bit of a rare commodity in the US! Great video like always

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

I can't believe Robertson screws and screwdrivers still aren't common in the US even though they're superior. As usual, the US refuses to go for the better option. 🤦

[@jimjones994]

Its not just the US , most of the world does not use them. But pick on the US , I know its the cool thing to do. Robertson screws are better but they are mostly a Canadian thing .

[@solarstrike33]

@Timothy R Even here we're kicking ourselves for not going for metric...
