Music disc for Amiga CDTV: "CDTV is 35"

To mark the 35th anniversary of the Commodore CDTV, Void has released a new music disc on CD-ROM. A key feature of the demo is that it uses genuine CD audio tracks.

"CDTV is 35" runs on a PAL CDTV or an Amiga 500/500+ with an A570 drive (68000, OCS, 1 MB RAM, Kickstart 1.3). In theory, it can also be run on the CD32 and other CD-ROM-capable Amiga systems.

How the C64’s Disk Drives Formatted Disks
The 1541 disk drive was infamously slow, probably the slowest of the 8-bit floppy disk drives, the result of a VIC-20 Kernal bug that was inexplicably kept in the C64 for the sake of backwards compatibility. The problem could be fixed by writing your own disk routines, which is why so many games used fastloaders.

Rescuing data from my IBM ThinkPad 755CE

Some time ago, my dad brought me some of my old stuff that's been bothering him back at our family home. It seems storing some of my things in this big place really is to much, so now I get something brought back every other visit. Anyway, one time I got this old laptop briefcase and it had the Thinkpad Laptop that I had been using as my main machine around the turn of the century. It's an IBM ThinkPad 755 CE that I bought used from my uncle Michael, who got it as his work machine during his […]
