[@toaddx]

I'm so fascinated by old tech, and I really like watching videos about these. Very entertaining!

[@toaddx]

Thank you Michael for hearting my comment! (Haven't edited the comment because as I know when editing comments the heart is removed)

[@carteranonymous5680]

Same here dude

[@larsl-xs2sc]

You should visit one of these computer museums when possible. Some have some very cool old tech.

[@regitz3833]

@@toaddx do u have sileo ur self?

[@Rainbow__cookie]

I love vaccum tubes i started collect radios

[@moelester7527]

Now I'm guessing you're gonna test them.

[@jdatlas4668]

Ooh, I love the idea of this, just a huge box full of floppies with unknown content. So much excitement about what could be on them! I shall also find the video of the first box like this now.

[@zach_c]

I want to buy some floppy disks and a reader/writer of some sort just to see what would happen.

[@adews7204]

I wonder what was going through their mind when they opened the box of floppy disks lol

[@RockRedGenesis]

Depending on the age of person/people involved, it's either, "Oh, a box of floppies, that's not for us!" or "What are these, they're kinda big for SD Cards! Hey, Steve, what are these?!!"

[@CHGOfficial512]

Old good times

[@okamiboi]

"We thought this was for us" In Argentina something similar happened, but the PS actually stole thousands of packages.

[@TeionM83]

Next three videos of this series: 1. Testing all floppies (except the sealed one) 2. Installing everything that does work 3. Running them on Windows 10

[@the_mariocrafter]

YESSSSS!!!

[@arteonyx]

Can floppies work on w10?

[@TeionM83]

@@arteonyx Yes they can. If you put a floppy drive into a Windows 10 machine, it will be recognized. And FAT16 is still supported, so you'll be able to read/write it too. I'm not entirely sure about formatting though.

[@reimarpb]

@@arteonyx yeah, it just requires that you install windows 10 on a machine that still has slots for floppy disks

[@dani.munoz.a23]

I literally screamed out loud of joy when this came up in recommended!

[@NGNetwork1]

Wait, USPS opened it up even with your name on it and PO Box on it? Holy hell. How daft can they be? (lovely video though)

[@davinp]

I've never seen pink diskettes before either. Yellow is rare too.

[@BurnedPinguin8630]

Please test all of these! Some of them are really interesting

[@DavidWonn]

Next 2 vids: 1. Inspecting / Loading 100+ floppies 2. Cleaning up 100+ malware infections ;-)

[@featherrwbyrnjr]

My mom was big on genealogy before she had kids, so she has a sizeable collection of the Family Tree Maker software and other software like it. They're mostly CDs from what I can tell, but just looking at them is pretty cool!

[@anthonylenzo3675]

Low density disks only have one hole ( some people call them holes punch) , HD disks have 2 holes.

[@ExperimentIV]

honestly if mjd doesn’t wanna keep the LD/DDs, I’ve got an Atari ST that needs more floppies I can write software for

[@anthonylenzo3675]

@@ExperimentIV funny i just got rid of my Atari STE with an external 40MB hard drive. This version had the MIDI ports built-in. I use to record melodies from Yamaha DX7 and Roland M32 synthesizers using a program call Notator Sequencer Score Writer. Gave it to neighbour kid who now creating his own R&B songs. He was a bit blown away this type of program existed back then. It like the same reaction my nephew and niece would get when i show them how we use to connect to the internet via 56K modem...lol

[@ExperimentIV]

@@anthonylenzo3675 that's awesome! i still don't have any music software. my st also has midi (i think they all do) and i want to use it as a patch librarian for my dx7 and as a sequencer (bc it's incredibly low latency and an amazing MIDI clock). any way you would consider mailing a rando in the youtube comments some music software? I don't have an internal hdd (yet?) but like... i would be so appreciative. or if you know anyone i could contact to help me! i don't necessarily need original copies of software bc that stuff is all way too expensive and collectible now

[@DavidWonn]

I find it funny how the diskettes that drew a Windows 3.1 interface did it wrong. Note the Maximize button to the left of the Restore button. Normally you’d see a Minimize button to the left of either a Maximize or Restore button.

[@bananaempijama]

Installing games with 3 or 4 floppy disks was like madness back in the day 🤣

[@marccaselle8108]

If you think 3 to 4 floppies was tense, try 8 or so for the DOS port of mortal Kombat II

@UwU what you just said its not just good content, its a new level

[@griffinlaw9367]

Are you going to do a video where you check out what's on these?

[@melonademan5639]

The USPS is a disaster right now. I can’t get anything mailed out and they’ve handled Christmas terribly.

I dont know how i found ur channel but im glad i did :)

Well, welcome to what's known as *great content!*

Hello nice community :)

Glad you’re here! : )

[@Ubaids_VMs]

The video that got me here was installing linux on PS2. glad i did

[@Crazy-Games]

I honestly cannot wait to see if these floppy disks are actually broken

[@TobStonk]

Ooh,microsoft plus! Great Video!😀

[@rayirth.upside-down]

PO person: finally maintenance goodies Also PO guy after opening it: hmm expired black 3½ biscuits I don't eat expired biscuits

[@FeelingShred]

2:47 there has been A LOT of irregularities with the postal service and deliveries in general, I wish I could remember the name of the video that had A BUNCH of comments of people describing their previous awful experiences of shipping or having stuff shipped by USPS

[@dollardealtech768]

I wish I had that many floppy disks lol. Thanks for the interesting unboxing video.

[@darkestlost]

My dear God now i really needs to you look out every disks to see the programs and users files the curiosity is huuuuge.

[@vlOd_yt]

At this point we should call him Floppy MJD....

[@CNETech]

I do not want to imagine that...

[@Alex-cn1xt]

Wow! Another Row. Of Floppy Disks. Amazing.

[@krzbrew]

As for the font pack - I've got one of these with my Canon BJC-4650 printer in 2001 (on a diskette as well). Not sure whether it is this exact font pack. It is when the fonts were not free and you had to purchase these separately. You had a nice free pack of fonts to use together with your limited bundled set of fonts for Win 3.1. Unfortunately, these were ASCII only, so, e.g. you could not really use them if your country does not use Latin alphabet. They work fine in later versions of Windows. Tested them on Windows 7 and they worked fine. Got a similar diskette with a fonts pack with HP LaserJet 6L.

[@HrutkayMods]

Hey @Michael MJD I have at least 4 LaserJet4 printers from my dad's old company if you want to try those disks out sometime lemme know

[@nezbednik]

wish i had old tech, it really amazes me

[@kit7une_]

Check thrift stores that aren’t goodwill, you can find windows xp laptops sometimes

[@nezbednik]

@@kit7une_ you know, i don't live in the us, so i can't (kinda sad ;-;)

[@blainepalmerza]

Awesome video,Michael!

[@AirknightTails]

4:50 I wonder if there's a Floppy Image of that disk

[@SDogo]

A lot of floppies... but not even a GB of space XD

[@MintleafCakes]

I really wanna know what recipes are held on those recipe disks

[@samismydog]

I wonder if that box was fragile.

[@AndreDeLimburger]

The Canon font pack, it came with Canon printers back in the days. I should have that diskette somewhere.

[@juango500]

is nobody gonna talk about the labels? those ones with the Win3.1 UI looked awesome.

[@OliviaIsTyping]

Great video Michael MJD keep up the great videos

[@Damaj301damaj]

I still use you bc i have no cd lol

[@NatetheNintendofan]

I thought you are dead windows xp.

[@Asprex]

Dude I love your content. Kinda makes me sad you don’t get many views/subscribers.

[@rogehmarbi]

4:40 I believe it's ProComp Plus. I kind of remember that software from a Computer Chronicles episode

[@Maybeitsmaybelline0]

i love these videos

[@retrogamer64x]

Can you try installing all the software on the 98PC, and check out the user created and blank Floppys?

[@twipsy2047]

Would love to see a Video of the differnet terminal emulator programs that are in theis set, for example the Reflection stuff and the "The Eye" software from Sterling.

[@StasKwiatek]

I see a video titled "Reading another 100 Floppy Disks"

[@ahoj113]

Love It!

[@Valrax]

I know this video is a month old but it would be nice to see a mashup of different floppys from this video, just showing the software and stuff on disks. Curious about things like the truetype font by canon as uninteresting as that may be. Would love to see a bunch of these explored. I know you have another video where you sat and tested 100 broken floppy disks, i'd like to see something similiar with these on the software with the more interesting picks of the lot.

[@MinecrafterPictures]

Considering that you have over 100k subs, I think I'm early

[@ee0275]

I’m actually installing ms golf 2 right now

[@mattelder1971]

ProCom Plus was a terminal program ages ago. It was mainly used for logging into BBS systems, and other serial communication like that.

[@NickDalzell]

I used to dial up METARS (aviation weather) with Procomm Plus

[@Mainnn1]

Keep up The great content. And also check if they work or not please

[@heinerml2]

I would love to be able to have my files in diferent devices like that. I don't know why I like the idea of making labels by hand or printing them

[@stonent]

Procomm Plus - Serial/Modem Terminal Software Acronis - Backup related WRQ Reflection - Mainframe or Unix terminal software Sterling Software - Makes things for mainframes or accounting CA - Mainframe and or accounting HP Colorado - Tape Drive software (Colorado Backup)

[@tomypower4898]

Yes copy that floppy!

[@macgyver6999]

Usually people cookbooks

[@kbhasi]

3:44 That's a weird-looking 'CD' 😂😂

[@MichaelMJD]

It is indeed 😂

[@Cohee1207]

Yeah Big box of floppas

[@Bastet55]

It could be cool a video with all the blank ones.

[@SteveMacSticky]

Bitstream is a famous font maker, bru

[@LuneLovehearn]

Hope you check if all those floppy disks work. I want to see it.

[@oggyosbourne]

Hi Michael , Could you dump that DFE-530TX floppy? My DFE-530TX only has CDs in the retail box no floppy. Merry Christmas ;)

[@GBlastMan]

now that you have that norton antivirus diskettes it could be quite neat for a retrospective about Norton Antivirus and why it was so popular back then and why nowdays is one of the worst antivirus. Like a Rise and Fall of Norton Antivirus because i hold a special place for that antivirus because my father used to like that program until we got infected with a Executable injecting virus that crapped all our files into oblivion and Norton did nothing to prevent it sadly, he then moved to Panda Antivirus i still have some of the discs they used to mail you when you brought a subscription but since we had a rough time years ago and was quite expensive to have that suscription going on we just cancel it.

[@andygroebe6775]

Ooh I Love A idea

[@OVERKILL_PINBALL]

Procomm Plus was a modem dialer and terminal app

[@CounterStriker013009]

You should copy all Data from Floppy Disks to CD/DVD or USB as Back up, because JP person (born in 2000 after) they don't know what is this, too shame.

[@MinorLG]

Can you share the font disk?

[@airfixer9461]

Time for some disk jockeying me thinks :-)

[@the_mariocrafter]

Dump all of the floppies and upload them to the internet archive just in case.

[@AmoghPednekar]

Hey micheal can you make a video on first ssd in the world

[@tomypower4898]

wait a minute...yes!

[@adrienbrasseur8809]

i really want to see the Norton antivirus on a floppy disk what is looks like !

[@connorm955]

Wow, they opened it? Lol. Reminds me of the 2009 core 2 quad case sticker was opened at the post office and stolen. Fools sent me an empty envelope! Got a refund from the seller though.

[@hazardousmatter2]

I have cardfile.exe on my Windows 10 laptop and it actually works. I also have clipbrd.exe from Windows XP.
