USB Floppy Drive in c/retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

Maybe worth looking into. I wonder how much shipping to Canada would cost me.

USB Floppy Drive (social.jlamothe.net)
 

Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can't tell it it's actually working or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it's continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even buy floppy disks any more?

That said, if I don't have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

8-Bit Homebrew Processor (social.jlamothe.net)
 

So, this isn't exactly retrocomputing and it looks like it's from four years ago, but I just found it and thought that many here may find it interesting.

This guy built a simple 8-bit CPU out of essentially discrete logic circuits (from what I've see so far, nothing more complex than a 4-bit adder chip) and explained the entire process.

@shellsharks I'm working on ironing out some bugs in the code of my virtual sushi bar in #LambdaMOO.

@shellsharks I've been participating in @SDF's Plan9 bootcamp, but since I've finished the current challenges I was just reading random documentation and tweaking my account today.
