Best use of a floppy I've seen in a long time.

forget vinyl, 3 1/4" is where its at.

After viewing countless hours of disgusting and perverted pornography, this is what really makes me finish.

I am pretty sure, that all things considered, this is the geekest thing I have ever hear/watched.


At least until someone makes a cake that looks like a lego design of mario wielding a frosted papercraft companion cube.

This is what we nerdy types do with our time when the more popular people are out having sex.

This makes me grin like an idiot and brings me to my *happy place.

Ak

Imperial March should be mentioned somewhere, since its that and not the main title theme.

How is this done?

Unless theres something on the floppy itself hitting the head to make the sound (kind of like a music box), its fake.

Stepper motors in these drives do make a noise similar to this, but #1 you cant alter the frequencies of steps to this degree to create multiple tones, and #2 youll note that while the head moves at the start of the tone, it does not continue to moved through to the end of the tone, especially the long tones. Therefore its not the stepper motor making the sound.

You sir, are a god among men and an example for us all!

I think this is the only use of a floppy I've seen n a loooong time.

What's a floppy?

Were they not originally called a 'Diskette' ?

I was going through my garage the other day and found a box of unsed, still wrapped 5 1/4" Floppies.

I use my floppies as bite guards when I'm gaming.

I just love people, who with zero information on something, other than a blurry video, and with some tiny amount of information, make bold statements like 'it's fake'.

Did you know that you can do this entirely in software with the disk drive of the commodore 64? Granted, it's a different assembly (5.25" drive with its own CPU and controller), but same principle. While I can't find anything on how it was done in this case, I think you'll find it's real, and then your 'its fake' call seems pretty dumb.

I was gonna say the same thing about the C64. I know personally from 20 years ago that this could be achieved on C64 drive so was not skeptical that someone could not pull the same thing off today.

This is sad. Amusing, but sad.

I was obligated to downvote this comment for stating the wrong disk measurement.

It's almost if someone did something pointless, yet utterly cool for the technical know-how involved, then video'd it for our amusement . . .

I knew the c64 could do this with the 1541 drives (Ive owned 2 types of em, and modded one with jiffy dos chips), but my experience with newer pc drives have lead me to believe the low level of hardware access needed, to control the stepper directly, was not available. Anyone have a link that says different?

I wanna hear the whole song now!

For you, WolfDemon

Brings back memories of sending head banging commands to the C= floppy drives. Sometimes it was to missalign them to get out of doing work and sometimes it was to realign them to play games... Good times. Good times.
