What you said at the end about our lives being stored on those machines is especially poniente, I have a few computers that my older brother used to program on, he saved stuff to tapes and later disks and became ill before having any sort of online presence and sadly passed away. One day I'll go through and spend some time with his former "digital" self. I also have a few games and programs on various comptuers representing my former digital lives. The other day an old school friend sent me some photos on Facebook of old "continuous" print out paper with BASIC listings that he accused me of having written some twenty five years ago. I had no memory of writing any of it, on closer inspection I realised it he had actually written it on his NC-100 notebook and had assumed it was some dodgy game I'd written about kissing people, when in fact it was his own work :)

Although it's a bit of an annoying and confusing nomenclature, it wasn't unknown for manufacturers at least (not so much owners, but there were still a few) to call the working part of a computer the "console" (including the base unit of a multi-user system, differentiating it from the remote "terminals"), particularly where it was an all-in-one, built-in-a-keyboard type design. That is, the part into which everything else connects and you supply primary power to. With things like the NES being a "games console", into which you plug everything else including the game cartridge. And of course there's several keyboard (and even beigebox) where you can do THAT as well. It's very blurry. Plus if almost everything that comes with it seems to be a game, with no identifiable operating system or serious software (other than one word processor, which may well have been confused for a point and click adventure at a casual glance), what are you gonna think? It's some strange console that happens to have a keyboard built into it for some reason...

Could it be that the CD drive was overheating somehow? Since those holes look like they were made purposefully (you can still see the "box" where the hole edges align to). I've had multiple modern cards / drives / etc. overheat and I've had to cut a hole into it. Maybe it also explains how it was left "filed, rough". Most of my similar "I'll see if this works / fixes it and I'll figure out a way to make it neater later" -type of projects usually end up living rest of their lives cut up, unfinished and unpolished. Actually, I had an older router that would crash constantly if it wasn't cooled. Apparently failing caps can be "good enough" when aggressively cooled, but when it heats up, it will start to deteriorate over the "crash / reboot"-limit. Basically after recapping the router, it was rock solid even without the fan. But I thought that the fan can't possibly hurt, so I left the fan on it for the rest of the time I had it in operation. So this could also be that the holes were cooling the PSU of the CD drive enough that it wouldn't crash contantly. I've also had a couple of 4G dongles that were overheating so badly that they basically crashed after 20 minutes of usage on light browsing / doing nothing. But after I ripped off the plastic casing and mounted a small VRAM heatsink onto it, I stress tested the dongle by basically downloading half of my Steam library through it and it didn't crash and it barely got warm. This trick also applies for most consumer grade networking gear and other types of dongles. The casings rely on the USB port to transfer the heat away from the PCB, which is nowhere near enough for half the chipsets that they are running in those things - so overheating is a common problem with cheap gear. VRAM heatsink = the generic black tiny heatsink that is usually used with Raspberry Pis on the CPU.
@circleofsorrow45835 жыл бұрын
My usb network adapter would degrade in performance and sometimes shut off completely with extended use. I bought a PCI card with a fancy anodised heatsink that kind of looked like overkill, but none of the problems of overheating. I think cooling is something manufacturers skimp on for profit.

@@circleofsorrow4583 Yeah, it is nothing new. Usually if anything starts malfunctioning, I almost always assume it is heat related. I have about 100 of those tiny heatsinks in stock + a bunch of motherboard heatsinks etc. that I've salvaged off dead boards. It was like 5 euros for 50 heatsinks with adhesive tape on Aliexpress, so it is easy to just slap a sink onto a suspect chip and see if anything changes.

@markpenrice62535 жыл бұрын
@@DavidLee-df888 That sounds like a failure of the magazine's disk editor to account for the need to write savefiles onto it. Or not making it clear enough to the user (or telling the duplicator to take out the write-enable tabs to preclude the possibility) that they shouldn't write anything to the disk lest it destroy the special format... in which case the blame falls back on your roommate. Who if he was enough of an Atari fanboy may have just done it on purpose. I figure he may have done something particular to it because as far as I knew, the "special" format was nothing more than conning each machine into thinking that the disc was single-sided - as the Atari single-sided format used the opposite side to the Amiga one, because their single side drives were actually double sided ones with a failed head on the normal (Amiga and MSDOS) side 0... Therefore the ST shouldn't have been able to write anything onto the Amiga side, unless a special formatter was used that could wipe and enable use of the other side without affecting the first (...or he copied off all the files, reformatted it as double sided to get extra "free" storage space not realising that the ~400kb capacity was actually the special multiformat sauce, and moved all the ST files back on from the temporary disc...)

@The Retro Byte ... I would argue against you normally, but ... eh... ST Double Dragon. No thanks, you can keep it, wipe it, do what you like.

At all of 1:30 in, I'm going with "a CDTV or CD32 with an add-on floppy drive". They had ports for a regular Amiga external floppy, along with mouse and keyboard, didn't they?

I'm sure this comment section says lots of lovely things about his guest. No need to scroll down. Going through random old computer hauls like this is fascinating, especially as someone who started with Windows 95 as a kid.
