I kept my promise on the Floppy disk thing...

4,242 THEOKPILOT  24 days ago

I own floppy disks. I think 10.
Don't believe me?

Here's proof. Sorry for the low quality image, my webcam is not up to the job. Let's just call them "Authentic resolution".
I have, currently, 109 .splane files.
Take a look.

Yeah. That's a lot.
So I decided to put them on a floppy disk (this is more of a proof of concept thing. I merely copied the files, rather than deleting them off my drive and having them only on the FD.)
After about a minute or so, they copied over. I for some reason needed to separate then into folders due to some NTFS thing. So folder 1 is SP1, and folder 2 is SP2.
Here is me transferring them over.

After that, I took the FD out and put it into my XP Machine. Here are some images of the files on XP, and the Computer itself.




So yeah! After a long time, I finally lived up to my promise about putting splane files on a Floppy disk.

    @keiyronelleavgeek566 Oh, those are XML files. I think.
    At max you could fit 30 of them if they were all 48.
    Up to 144 for all to be 10kb.

    @THEOKPILOT most of them are somewhere between 10 and 48 kb.

    @Solent Yeah, if you can find any. Also, the windows 7 may be 64 bit. Check in the System tab in Control panel.

    @Solent I would look up if the computer you have can run a 64 bit OS.

    @Solent Well I was told anything after 1.8 or 19 is 64 bit.

    @keiyronelleavgeek566 You'd probably need like 100 folders to keep them in (due to that odd ntfs thing), but you could do it.

    @Solent If you can get Win 7 64 bit running, you probably can.

    @keiyronelleavgeek566 That would be 7.668 kb, a typical 1.44 mb DOS formatted Floppy disk could easily hold them all.

    @PlaneFlightX They still are pretty useful though.
