Has it been that long since you had to snip a bit out of a 5.25 " floppy to use both sides... That is for those luck enough to have a floppy disk... everyone else had to use a cassette recorder to load a program... And what about sound? A program rocked if it beeped... And if it actually played a MIDI tune... Well that was cool!
I still have a keyboard and a drum machine from the middle '80s -- Korg DW-8000 and DDD-101, I believe -- that both use casette tape for external storage of patches. The drum machine also has optional available memory cards, but I never got one. Additional drum sounds can be added through ROM cards that plug into the front of the machine.
