[@ohboiiPumba]

And it was so good it catched me :D

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Yes! And I got fooled too! I primarily watch KZbin for entertainment these days ahead of normal TV but omfg April 1st meant I was starved for decent content. Everything was blatantly obvious silly videos, no real content. Wish other KZbinrs followed in David's footsteps, that was a perfect April fools.

[@oldreapervegasarchive3940]

Not necessarily, but some people could see that kind of a joke that way.

[@tyroney2]

I’m glad I was watching this on my phone in portrait mode. 😂

Best April Fools prank I've seen. I was like holy crap that wax head is creepy realistic. Well played.

Agreed, well played! The whole time, I kept thinking how funny it would have been if you had found the head before finding the note, and then, April Fools!

[@fdelduquenobre]

[@justincoleman9776]

I was thinking "why would someone send a wax head?" Thats creepy in and of itself.

[@vwestlife]

The disk for the HAWS weather station may be salvageable if you cut it open, remove the "cookie" (the actual floppy disc inside), clean it with soap and water, and then put it into a new jacket from a donor disk. Other people have done this to successfully recover data from disks that had gotten moldy.

[@McShave]

"Washing floppies with soap and water" wow I haven't done that in 25 years. It certainly does work, I just can't believe I'd forgotten about doing it.

[@DubiousEngineering]

Just FYI, the amstrad disks have a metal protector that retracts ... hence they look a little metallic. There is a standard ferrous disk under the metal cover.

[@mattsword41]

Dubious Engineering remember them well from my PCW 8256. Not the most reliable of discs!

[@vasopel]

mattsword I've never had an amstrad floppy problem. even those that I used a lot still work. is it possible that your 8256 drive was faulty?

[@mattsword41]

vaso opel could have been! Seem to remember disc quality dropping in later years of the 3" disc, but equally by then, the drives were older too ;)

[@zaprodk]

The Amstrad-floppies have the shutter internally. The silver part is the shutter. The media disk inside looks like any other floppy :)

[@alhartman66]

Amdek tried to sell this same disk system for several other micros of the time. They were offering systems for the Apple ][, TRS-80 Model III, TRS‑80 Color Computer, the IBM PC, and the Atari 400/800. These disks held a maximum of 1mb of storage. They were double sided in that you would eject the disk, flip it over and reinsert it to use the other side. I worked for ZEBRA SYSTEMS, INC. in the 1980's, and we sold a disk system for the Timex/Sinclair 2068 made by Timex of Portugal that used these disks called the FDD-3000. I don't have one of those disk systems, but I do have several disks kicking around here.

The media of the 3" Amstrad disks isn't silver, that's the metal protector, similar to the sliding one of a 3.5" disk. On the side of the disk is a slider which is pushed when the disk is inserted into the drive, and that moves cover out of the way for the drive head.

[@tomkavulic7178]

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Its only her first name anyway.

[@The8BitGuy]

It was her last name she didn't want shown. so I sill honored her request. I had already filmed opening the container before the P.S. section of the note said not to show her last name. So I just had to totally edit out the part where I showed the name on the package. so it was fine.

These CF2 floppy discs (12:20) were 3 inch used on Amstrad/Schneider CPC664 or CPC 6128 here in Europe

[@askhowiknow5527]

I hope XRaying them didn’t erase the ROMs

[@leisergeist]

I remember reading some article about that.. IIRC: x-ray machines have a near-none chance of erasing or corrupting storage media (CDs, Flash, ROM, magnetic) (The context was for people traveling through airport scanners)

[@BlackEpyon]

the question is whether or not the baggage scanners are higher powered.

[@benbaselet2026]

That would be a lightweight package, no reason to nuke it with too much X.

[@deelan_]

I think only UV does that

[@benbaselet2026]

Well UV erases UV-erasable EPROMS with the window on them. These were cassettes so I'd say it's magnetic media, not ROMs like solid state. The only way to erase them with UV would be to nuke them until they melt :-)

[@Anaerin]

As a note, the "Silver" media on those 3" Amstrad CPC floppies is the shutter. There should be a white tab on the side you can slide down (with a pointy something like a pen) to slide back the sprung shutter and look at the media underneath.

[@markpitt5248]

The Amstrad disc is a 3inch CF2 standard disc, the media is the usual dark brown colour behind a metal shield shutter, the shutter is moved aside to expose the media by sliding a white tab in a groove on the side of the disc. I used them on my CPC6128 but I know the Sinclair Spectrum +3 has the same drive as also did the later Amstrad PCWs. Also I believe Einsteins used them as well. They are hard to come by now and were expensive even back when I was using them.

[@dominikschutz6300]

How you could fix that oil spilled disk: Cut the top of disk open, take out the magnetic disk, put it on a towel, clean it with Windex and a cotton swap inwards to outwards not in a circle and put it in a donor disk case. May work... :)

[@markm0000]

You don't even need a donor disk case. The oil can be stripped clean off the case and left to dry for a few days. The label can be easily re-printed. I'd hate to see another disk sacrificed just to make that one work. Then afterwards the data can be copied to that working second disk.

[@dominikschutz6300]

I heared him saying, he couldn't find the disk online, so it maybe worth the "sacrifice" (i personally save some DD disks and rare disks, most of the rest goes to the trash...) + a bad case can damage the magnetic disk.. + There is protetive stuff inside, which i probaply soaked, too...

[@omnievents345]

13:41 Yes, it should work on your NTSC NES, since the gamecode ends with USA.

The Amstrad 3inch discs were for the Amstrad PCW word processor - used them at college in the 90's and the CPC range of home computers...

[@ChipLinck]

The wax head was great.

[@star_man]

The discs aren't silver on the 3" Amstrad "floppies", those are metal shutters that open when the disc is inserted into the drive, revealing the normal magnetic floppy disc inside. My Amstrad 6128 used them. You can open it manually by sliding your finger nail down the side of the casing, the opening slider mechanism is found there.

[@thewassock]

Those Amstrad floppies were used in the various Amstrad CPC models, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Plus 3, and Amstrad's PCW range of word processors, although from 1991 the word processors came with 3.5" drives instead. These drives were also used in the Tatung Einstein. That's a metal shutter covering the data tracks - it rotates when inserted in the drive

[@snapcracklecube6524]

Can you do a review of a Casio Ct-700 on the 8 bit keys channel, please???????

That 2XL unit reminds me of the updated version that came out in the 90's. The newer version used standard cassette tapes instead of the 8-track tapes of the original. There was even a short-lived kids quiz show based around it featuring Marc Summers and a giant version of the toy.

Three inch floppies! I used them on the Sega SC-3000 + SF-7000, a computer system that wasn't hugely popular but was the one I started out on. BTW, the "silver" part is a cover, not the disc surface.

[@FinalBaton]

Amstrad floppies are T H I C C

[@K2teknik.]

And the silver is not the disk, it is a cover that slide away when the floppy is inserted.

Yes, there is a mecanism you slide on the side that uncover. And by the way, the format is simply called 3" disk.
