No offense here at FlexRadio. Thanks for voicing your concerns.
One thought for everyone on the subject. Right now we discourage discussion
related to experimental software on this reflector. On the new reflector,
we will actually encourage that same discussion. We just need to keep
I will of course follow the rules for each reflector however the point I was
making is that I will simply read each of them.

Nothing relevant but just wanted to mention that I just found an old box full
of 5 1/4 floppy disks. Throwing away originals of MS-DOS 5.0, Windows 3.0,
ProComm Plus, Norton 6.01, AfterDark screensaver, and Orchid video drivers.
It's tough to get old.

I remember back in 1976, we were developing a store controller system that
used an 8 inch floppy drive as its main storage device. The diskette drive
used a geneva mechanism for moving the head. It took 5 full seconds for the
head to move from one end of the floppy to the other!

In 1976 I was the engineering department at Honeywell working on moving coil
low inertia motors used in tape drives. We sure could start and stop that
tape quickly. Made a very good living off those old drives before those darn
Winchester drives came out.
